Beautifully restored, the Historic Peck House is situated on 1/3 acre in downtown Wilmington. Located just 3 blocks from the Riverwalk and 6 blocks from the Castle Street Art District, you'll enjoy exploring all the shopping, dining and entertainment that Wilmington has to offer. Step through the garden gate and step back in time. From the rocking chair front porch, take in view of the historic district beyond the garden. Once inside the foyer, notice the many architectural details and the original heart of pine hardwoods that flow throughout.

The kitchen is down the hall and features a large island with butcher block top, attractive brick accent and stainless vent hood above the 6 burner gas stove, a pot filler faucet, a farm sink and marble countertops. Across from the kitchen is another living space that is divided and would make a nice tv room and office. A back door leads to the paved parking area behind the house and the spacious, enclosed backyard. Upstairs you'll find all 4 bedrooms and the laundry. The primary bedroom has a walk in closet, and an ensuite bath with a tiled, double shower.

Looking for a historic home in downtown Wilmington that blends historic charm and modern updates? Then look no further! The Sutton-Burgwin House was built circa 1850 in the Greek Revival style and thoughtfully and extensively renovated just a few years ago. Along a brick-lined street, every effort was made to preserve the historic elements of the house while providing modern conveniences. The home features over 2,800 square feet and contains four bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The beauty of 323 S. Fourth Street is in the many details: restored hardwood floors throughout much of the house, a stunning staircase, window seats, seven fireplaces, one in almost every room, plentiful storage, and even a laundry chute! Enter from the expansive front porch and notice how the large windows in every room provide abundant natural light. Pass through the living room into the open chef's kitchen with high-end modern appliances, built-in desk and cubbies below the windows that flank the fireplace, and an expansive kitchen island and open shelves that were built from repurposed wood from the home. Each of the four bedrooms are spacious, with the primary bedroom featuring a custom closet with plentiful built-ins and a en-suite bathroom with a walk-in, tiled shower. The other two bathrooms have also been tastefully renovated and feature claw foot tubs. Architectural glass doors lead from the kitchen into the backyard. Outside is a private, fenced yard with a charming patio and entertainment area and a quaint gardening shed with a live-green roof. Be sure to take a minute and read about the history of the house on the historic plaque that is located to the right of the front door. This home's location in the Historic District near Front Street, the Castle Street Arts District, dining, entertainment and other historic neighborhoods all add to a spectacular living experience. Welcome home to the Sutton-Burgwin House!
