About 117 S 8th St
Step into this beautifully updated Charleston style home perfectly situated on a DOUBLE SIZED LOT in the heart of downtown Wilmington. With 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a spacious open-concept layout, this home offers the perfect blend of downtown charm and modern upgrades. Fresh paint and newly refinished red oak floors welcome you inside, while the Ipe wood front porch and balcony off the primary suite bring the Southern character outdoors.
