Stay in a complimentary-standing 1820s kitchen bungalow with modern amenities.
Gas log fireplace, private patio, and sunset vistas over the Cape Fear River.
Walk everywhere — getaway to peaceful.
Tucked behind one of Wilmington’s most storied 19th-century homes, this rare brick bungalow was originally the kitchen home for the main residence when it was relocated in the late 1800s. The primary home dates back to 1826 and even served as a Civil War hospital. While the grandiose home tells Wilmington’s public story, this bungalow was once the private working heart of the property.
Today, it has been thoughtfully preserved and transformed into a private one-bedroom sanctuary where historic character meets modern convenience.
Inside, you’ll find a cavernous 1BR / 1BA filled with natural light and timeless appeal. A working gas log fireplace sets the tone for casual evenings and slow mornings. The kitchen and bathroom are completely refreshed and equipped, giving you everything you expect from a modern stay — without sacrificing the character that makes this place special.
On one side of the bungalow, a private outdoor sitting area invites morning coffee or evening wine under the trees. On the other side, you have your own dedicated off-street parking space — a rare luxury in historic downtown Wilmington.
Behind the bungalow stretches a deep garden that leads to rocking chairs overlooking the Cape Fear River — a front-row seat to Wilmington’s golden sunsets. As the sky turns amber and the river reflects the light, everything slows down.
And yet, you’re just steps from downtown stores, eateries, and the Riverwalk. You get the energy of Wilmington with the privacy of a tucked-away getaway.
This isn’t a generic stay, It’s a detached historic bungalow with river vistas, a fireplace, private parking, outdoor living space, and nearly 200 years of story behind it.
This won’t be a stay you forget.
It will become your go-to stay in Wilmington.
