Nestled in the heart of the Wilmington Historic District, this unique Victorian residence offers a rare blend of historic elegance and modern comfort. Spanning approximately 6,290 square feet, the property features eight distinctive bedroom suites, each with its own private bath and unique character, making it ideal for a spacious family home or continued use as a luxury bed and breakfast. The main level is designed for both comfort and entertaining, showcasing formal gathering areas, a recently updated kitchen, and a large primary suite. A stylish powder room is cleverly tucked beneath a handcrafted wooden staircase, adding a touch of architectural charm. The second and third floors house the remaining seven bedroom suites, along with generous additional living spaces that offer flexibility for guests or family. Outside, enjoy Southern living at its finest with a welcoming wrap-around front porch and a private back porch that overlooks a serene garden and pond, surrounded by mature landscaping and towering trees for ultimate tranquility. An alley-access drive at the rear of the home leads to an additional vacant parcel, currently used for parking but equally suited for expansion, gardening, or outdoor gatherings. Located just minutes from downtown Wilmington, the Riverwalk, and top dining destinations, this property offers both historic charm and prime convenience. Currently operating as the CW Worth House Bed and Breakfast, it provides a seamless opportunity for continued business or conversion to a grand private residence.
