713 Red Cross St, Wilmington, NC 28401

Property Description

Nestled on one of Wilmington's charming brick laid streets in the heart of the Brooklyn Arts District, 713 Red Cross offers the rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully updated historic home just blocks from downtown. Located only minutes from the Wilson Center, Live Oak Amphitheater, the Riverwalk, and countless restaurants, breweries, and shops, this location places the very best of Wilmington right outside your door. Originally built in 1910, the home has been beautifully cared for while preserving the historic character that makes downtown Wilmington so special. Inside, you will find stunning original heart pine hardwood floors that carry more than a century of history, tall ceilings upstairs, abundant natural light, and multiple original fireplaces that anchor the living spaces with warmth and charm. The kitchen blends modern functionality with historic style, featuring butcher block countertops, a classic subway tile backsplash, stainless steel hood and range, and pantry storage. Bathrooms have been tastefully updated while maintaining period appropriate design, including a beautifully renovated primary bath with clawfoot tub and penny tile flooring. Major improvements since 2022 include significant structural enhancements with a new foundation system consisting of 19 piers and metal I-beam stringers, new Pella windows throughout, standing seam metal roofing, Hardie siding replacement across parts of exterior, a newer downstairs HVAC unit, updated appliances, interior and exterior paint, and improvements to the shed, fencing, and landscaping. Another rare feature for a downtown property is the off-street parking located beside the home, offering convenience that many historic homes cannot provide. The surrounding neighborhood continues to see major investment, with several nearby homes currently undergoing full renovations and new construction underway just steps away. Combined with the City of Wilmington's downtown revitalization initiatives and recent restoration of Red Cross Street's original brick roadway, the area continues to attract homeowners seeking historic charm paired with long term growth. 713 Red Cross is a special opportunity to own a piece of Wilmington's history while enjoying the energy and walkability of one of the city's fastest evolving downtown neighborhoods. An independent appraisal completed January 2026 valued the property at $458,000, a full copy is available in the MLS documents for buyer review.
