Welcome to 1711 Princess Street — a timeless treasure in the heart of Wilmington's beloved Carolina Heights. This storybook Southern charmer offers nearly 3,000 square feet in the main home with a separate studio in the cottage house and a generous quarter-acre lot. The beautifully updated living space perfectly blends historic character with modern comforts and every inch of this home feels both elegant and inviting.
From the moment you arrive, the wide rocking-chair front porch sets the tone—classic, welcoming, and made for front porch sitting under Carolina blue skies. Step inside to find newly refinished hardwood floors that flow through gracious formal living and dining rooms, ideal for hosting holidays or impromptu gatherings with friends. The thoughtfully updated kitchen is a chef's delight, with inset cabinets, panel-ready appliances, a speciality Kitchen-Aid mixer lift, marble countertops, and a gas range. The adjacent banquette flows seamlessly to an expansive covered deck where a cozy gas log fireplace creates the perfect backdrop for year-round entertaining.
Upstairs, retreat to the serene primary suite with its own private ensuite bath, while two additional bedrooms, a charming trunk room, and a converted sleeping porch provide plenty of options for guests, hobbies, or a home office. The property also offers rare extras that elevate it beyond the ordinary: a detached studio cottage ideal as a guesthouse, rental, or artist's escape; a potting shed for gardeners; and a full basement plus walk-up attic for all the storage you could ever need.
Outside, the expansive backyard invites you to unwind, garden, or simply enjoy the privacy of your own outdoor oasis. Add in a brand-new roof and walkable access to downtown Wilmington, the Soda Pop District, and the Cargo District—and you have the best of historic charm and modern living all in one.
