About this home
Beautiful Historic Craftsman home centrally located in the heart of vibrant Downtown Wilmington. Built in 1930, the McLaughlin-Richard House is nothing short of marvelous, with beautiful period details and 1,483 square feet, three bedrooms, single story living,and an exceptionally deep lot extending from 7th Street to Wilson Street. The additional 621 square feet upstairs is not included in the square footage of the home due to the ceiling heights. The classic brick-and-frame Craftsman façade, expansive front and back yard with mature landscaping and established trees create an inviting first impression and reflect the enduring appeal of this special property. From the moment you walk through the front door from the incredible broad covered front porch, the home's character is unmistakable. Inside, the home has been lovingly maintained and retains architectural details that are increasingly difficult to find. Abundant oversized windows fill the living spaces with natural light, while substantial white trim, decorative wall detailing, textured plaster walls and ceilings, and graceful architectural transitions between rooms speak to the craftsmanship of an earlier era. The spacious living area is anchored by a handsome original-style brick fireplace creating a natural focal point for the room. An elegant columned opening, wide passageways, and generous windows give the main living spaces a wonderful sense of openness and historic character. Beneath the existing carpeting is original hardwood flooring! While the house itself is special, the size and configuration of the property make this offering particularly compelling. The beautiful, tree-lined lot extends from 7th Street through to Wilson Street, providing access to the rear of the property from Wilson Street, a potentially valuable feature for a downtown Wilmington residence. The possibilities are intriguing. Preserve the expansive yard as a private garden and outdoor retreat, create additional parking, or investigate options for an accessory structure. the Incredible Location is another standout feature. The home is just one block from Robert Strange Park, putting recreation remarkably close to home. Even more of Wilmington's downtown lifestyle awaits approximately seven blocks away at the coveted Wilmington Riverfront, where restaurants, shopping, entertainment, historic streets, and beautiful views of the Cape Fear River create one of the city's most desirable destinations. This is the kind of location that makes it possible to enjoy both the neighborhood character of historic Wilmington and the energy of downtown living. The history of the property adds another meaningful dimension. According to the Historic Wilmington Foundation, Inc., the McLaughlin-Richard House was built in 1930 in the Craftsman bungalow style for Robert McLaughlin (1885-1942). The property is not located within in the local Historic Preservation District, therefore, renovations will not be subject to historic district oversight. The property has been recognized with a historical plaque and added to the National Historical Marker Database, but Wilmington Historic Preservation Dept. confirmed no additional oversight would be required since it's not within the Historic Preservation District. Historic character. A remarkable lot. Downtown convenience. And possibilities for the future, all in the heart of Wilmington....
