About this home
Historic bones. Modern everything. And one of the most flexible zoning designations in Wilmington.
1518 Castle Street is a fully renovated 1920 Craftsman cottage sitting in the heart of the Cargo District -- one of the most creatively active and walkable urban neighborhoods on the Carolina coast. The classic bungalow roofline, dormer detail, and covered front porch with ceiling fans and string lights have been preserved exactly as they should be. Everything behind the walls is brand new.
The exterior presents fresh white lap siding with dark trim and columns, a horizontal slat privacy fence that ties the property cleanly to the block, and a covered front porch that earns its square footage year-round.
Inside, LVP flooring runs throughout the entire home. The main living area is open, bright, and well-lit with recessed lighting and black ceiling fans. The kitchen features white flat-front cabinetry to the ceiling, dark countertops, a center island with pendant lighting, and a wall-mounted stainless range hood. Both bedrooms are well-proportioned with ceiling fans, recessed lighting, and built-in closet organization systems. The bathroom is the kind you don't expect at this price point -- floating double vanity, dual LED backlit mirrors, glass-enclosed walk-in shower with full subway tile and a rainfall showerhead, matte black fixtures throughout, hex tile floor.
The rear yard is fully enclosed with a full perimeter privacy fence, gravel surface, and concrete patio slab -- zero maintenance, total privacy.
Here's what makes this property genuinely different: UMX zoning. That means short-term rental use is permitted. Live/work and professional office use are permitted. No HOA means no restrictions, no approval process, no committees. For an investor, this is a turnkey Airbnb in a neighborhood that draws visitors year-round. For a buyer who works from home or runs a small practice, this is a residence and an office in one of Wilmington's most walkable addresses.
The Castle Street antique district is a short walk. The Cape Fear riverfront is minutes away. And your nearest neighbors include some of the best independent food and creative businesses in the city.
Two bedrooms. One bathroom. No HOA. Full renovation. STR-ready from day one....
