219 18th Street

Welcome to this timeless home in the heart of Carolina Heights, one of Wilmington's most picturesque and beloved neighborhoods. With 3,050 square feet, a flexible layout, and a beautifully landscaped deep lot with rare privacy, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home blends classic character with thoughtful modern updates and an easy, light-filled flow. A previous restoration preserved the original hardwood floors and architectural details while opening the floor plan in all the right places. The kitchen, dining, and den connect seamlessly, framed by multiple sets of French doors that bring in beautiful natural light. The kitchen features exposed brick detailing and warm butcher-block counters, adding a subtle texture that feels true to the home's roots. A main-floor powder room, which is hard to find in homes of this era, offers welcome convenience. Step outside onto the tri-level deck overlooking the expansive, fenced backyard. The yard features irrigation and plenty of room to garden, play, host, or simply exhale. Downtown lots this generous and this private hardly ever come along. Upstairs, you'll find something truly special for a home of this age. There are three full bathrooms and a large, true laundry room just steps from all the bedrooms, providing function families deeply appreciate. The primary suite offers more space than expected for the period, with an ensuite bath and two closets. Additional conveniences include a welcoming mudroom and drop zone near the back entry and off-street parking with alley access. Carolina Heights remains one of Wilmington's most loved neighborhoods for its tree-lined streets, gracious homes, and long-established appeal. Its cinematic good looks have landed it in several productions over the years. And just a few blocks away lies the vibrant Soda Pop District, with coffee shops, restaurants, breweries, creative studios, and more.
