Property details

About 608 Dock St

Historic Wilmington Gem: Greek Revival Elegance with Unmatched Tranquility.Step into a piece of Wilmington's rich history with this beautifully maintained Greek Revival home, built in 1866. Once the cherished residence of Lt. Governor W.B. Cooper, this property offers a rare blend of historical significance and modern comfort.Architectural Distinction: Experience the timeless elegance of Greek Revival architecture, characterized by its symmetrical facade, low-pitched gable roofs, and classic simplicity. This home retains its original layout (with a tasteful rear addition) and boasts original wood floors, with 36 windows creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. Notably, this is one of only three remaining homes in downtown Wilmington built from this floor plan, adding to its unique appeal.Spacious Lot & Abundant Light: Unlike the narrow lots common in Victorian architecture in Wilmington, this Greek Revival home features a wide lot, equivalent to the width of two typical Victorian homes. Generous side yards allow for abundant natural light, creating a bright and airy living space. Enjoy a wide front porch, a smaller rear porch, and a lovely backyard garden. A long driveway leads to a rear garage.Peaceful Location: Discover the tranquility of Dock Street, a serene oasis in the heart of historic Wilmington. Unlike flood risks associated with Front and Second Streets, or the bustling traffic of Front, Third or Fifth Streets, this home offers a peaceful and secure environment. This section of Dock Street benefits from local traffic only, enhanced by the city's closure of the 3rd Street crossing. The house, sitting on a gentle hill after the river, benefits from an exceptionally low flood risk (1/100), providing peace of mind and potential savings on flood insurance. This lovely home offers the prestige of Wilmington's historic district, perfectly balanced with modern tranquility.
