Welcome to the historic Delgado Mills House, a beautifully restored 1920 bungalow nestled in Wilmington’s charming Spofford Mills neighborhood, just outside the highly desirable Forest Hills area. Offering the perfect blend of Southern character, modern convenience, and rich North Carolina history, this one-of-a-kind property is truly a rare find.
Situated on an oversized lot in one of Wilmington’s most peaceful yet centrally located neighborhoods, this property offers endless possibilities. The expansive fenced backyard provides ample space for a detached garage, guest cottage, accessory dwelling unit (ADU), or a stunning pool and outdoor entertaining oasis (subject to city approvals).
Inside, you’ll discover a thoughtfully renovated home where historic charm meets contemporary living. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence has undergone extensive updates within the past two years, including a new HVAC system, tankless water heater, luxury vinyl plank flooring, custom cabinetry, updated lighting, a dedicated laundry room, raised ceilings, and numerous additional improvements. Original character and timeless appeal remain throughout, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that is increasingly difficult to find in today’s market.
The location is equally exceptional. Enjoy being just moments from Wilmington’s thriving brewery scene, trendy Cargo District, antique shops, Castle Street Arts District, shopping at Independence Mall, and the pristine shores of Wrightsville Beach. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being only one block from the beloved Cross City Trail, offering miles of walking, running, and biking opportunities.
