About this home
Straight out of a storybook, with just a hint of ''Wicked'' charm, this enchanting green bungalow at 502 S. 7th Street is one of downtown Wilmington's most unforgettable homes, complete with a whimsical witch weather vane perched above the roofline. Traditional in character from the curb, yet unexpectedly contemporary inside, this one-of-a-kind home built in 1898 blends historic bungalow appeal with creative, modern living.
A rocking chair front porch with a swing sets the tone for the warm and inviting spaces within. Inside, you'll find original hardwood floors throughout, exposed beams, abundant built-in shelving, and charming nooks and crannies that make every space feel thoughtfully designed and full of personality. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, including a gas stove, and has soapstone countertops and gorgeous cabinets. The updated bathroom adds to the home's move-in-ready appeal.
The loft space, while not included in the heated square footage, provides valuable bonus space perfect for a reading retreat, studio, home office, or guest overflow.
Outdoor living truly shines here. Enjoy peaceful mornings and alfresco dinners on the oversized screened porch while listening to birds chirping in the private backyard setting. A charming courtyard and wired workshop complete the outdoor spaces, offering both functionality and retreat.
Located just blocks from the vibrant Castle Street Arts District- home to favorites like Luna Caffè and Gravity Records- and walkable to Wilmington's Central Business District, this home offers the perfect blend of creativity, convenience, and downtown lifestyle.
The current owners have poured tremendous TLC and creativity into this special home over the years, thoughtfully updating and preserving its unique character whenever possible. However, the property remains a work in progress, and will require repairs and additional improvements, presenting an opportunity for the next owner to continue restoring and reimagining this truly distinctive downtown bungalow. Recent improvements completed by the homeowners include having two sides of the wood siding replaced with fiber cement, as well as a new water heater installed.
Quirky, creative, and full of personality, this is the kind of home people remember long after they leave- and a rare opportunity to write the next chapter of one of downtown Wilmington's most charming bungalows....
