About 108 Castle St
Step Back in Time--With All the Modern Comforts of Today- The Cook-Matthews House is nestled in downtown Wilmington, just two blocks from the vibrant Cape Fear Riverfront and the antique and arts district. Built in 1882 by master carpenter Abraham B. Cook, this enchanting Queen Anne cottage whispers stories of a bygone era from its perch on an old brick street lined with sidewalks and timeless charm. Step onto the front porch and be greeted by delicate turned supports and intricate spindle work--each detail lovingly preserved to keep the past beautifully present. This cottage has been thoughtfully renovated throughout. The original warm heart pine floors run underfoot in many rooms, echoing the home's rich heritage. The NEW kitchen is a delightful blend of old-world elegance and modern function, featuring a Kitchen Aid natural gas range, wood island countertop with navy shiplap, open wood shelving, and a window above the farm sink that frames the view of the flourishing gardens. The private Master Retreat is a sanctuary all its own--with a spa-like bath including a soaking clawfoot tub, and separate walk in shower. The original brick has been exposed from the fireplace to add to the charm of the master ensuite. The custom walk-in closet complete with a closet island and window seat is the perfect place to get ready for the day. French doors lead from the Master Bedroom to a deck that invites morning coffee or evening stargazing overlooking the gardens below. Two guest bedrooms and two additional bathrooms offer comfort and character, while a spacious laundry room with built-in cabinetry adds practicality. Out back, the spacious deck overlooks the gardens and a charming potting shed awaits your green thumb. But wait...there is off street parking which is a rarity downtown. Featured on the Azalea Festival & Candlelight Tour and the Secret Garden Tour, this is more than just a home--it's a piece of Wilmington's story. And now, it's ready for its next chapter.
