Property Description

Welcome to the Price-Leiner House, a piece of Wilmington history blending timeless character with thoughtful updates. Built in 1903 and recognized by the Historic Wilmington Foundation, this neoclassical revival-style cottage sits proudly on a beautiful, tree-lined street in the heart of downtown. A wide, welcoming front porch sets the tone, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the neighborhood's charm. Inside, you'll find beautifully refinished wood floors, four decorative fireplaces, historic windows and doors, and 9.5' ceilings that create a bright, open feel throughout. Recent upgrades in 2024 include two remodeled bathrooms, fresh interior paint, and extensive electrical improvements: a new breaker box, upgraded main line to 220, new outlets, switches, fixtures, ceiling fans, plus underground power to a new shed/flex space. The shed features vaulted ceilings, a transom window, and is wired for a mini split—making it an ideal home office, studio, or workout room. Additional comforts include central HVAC, a tankless water heater, a fenced backyard, off-street parking, and a 2-10 Home Warranty for peace of mind. The home also conveys partially furnished. Located just blocks from the Castle Street Arts District and minutes to downtown's boutiques, top restaurants, breweries, and the Riverwalk—with Wrightsville Beach less than 10 miles away—you'll enjoy both convenience and lifestyle. Improvements are also underway along 5th Avenue, including resurfaced streets, new sidewalks, bike lanes, and upgraded utilities, further enhancing this vibrant location.The Price-Leiner House offers a rare opportunity to own a historic home with modern upgrades in one of Wilmington's most desirable neighborhoods.
