Property Description

Step into timeless charm at 228 McRae Street—an updated historic townhome in the heart of downtown Wilmington. Just a few blocks from the Soda Pop District, Brooklyn Arts District, and the Riverwalk, this rare gem offers the perfect blend of character, location, and modern convenience. Inside, you'll find soaring ceilings, original refinished hardwood floors, dual gas fireplaces, and beautiful craftsmanship including 3-tiered crown molding and wainscoting. The updated galley kitchen features quartz countertops, while the upstairs bathroom has been fully renovated. A newly added half bath on the first floor adds everyday functionality. Other upgrades include fresh interior paint, updated electrical (2023), a new gas water heater (2022), and a recoated roof with a transferable 10-year warranty (2022). The dining room showcases an incredible mural by Ronald Williams celebrating Wilmington's rich history. Out back, enjoy your own private retreat—perfect for sipping morning coffee or unwinding with a glass of wine at the end of the day. Originally built in 1914 by Carl W. Polvogt for shipyard workers and converted into townhomes in 1983, this home is a true piece of local history. With low HOA dues ($175/month), no pet restrictions, and a 30-day rental minimum, it offers the best of both worlds—whether you plan to make it your primary home, enjoy it as a seasonal getaway, or simply have a cozy downtown retreat to return to whenever life brings you back to the coast.
