2409 Westminister Way

Discover this little-known pocket of homes hidden between historic downtown & Princess districts. Belvedere is a seldom traveled neighborhood easily accessible to downtown... but not too close. When enjoying this peaceful home and large secluded yard, it can be easy to forget that Wilmington's vibrant downtown is less than ten minutes away, and the trendy Soda-Pop entertainment district is less than five (both are a bike-able distance). Westminster may be the most hidden street in town, only six homes and one stately historic church quietly share this little street; your friends will think they know where you live, but not quite. Neighbors come together for annual events include spring egg hunts, Halloween party, outdoor end of year holiday movie screenings and more. Gardener's dream lot is loaded with mature trees, azaleas, hydrangeas, fruiting fig tree, blueberry bush, and more. Generous 4+/10ths of an acre is plenty, but not too much; even includes a chicken coop to accommodate 5 hens allowed in city code. Large deck (& hammock) is just off owner's bedroom overlooking nature's best, a perfect place to let the day go or greet a new one. The owner's suite has private entrance that has worked well as a vacation rental, with part-time Airbnb earning seller ~$100 nightly (plenty of parking helps). Sunroom overlooking garden and has been the perfect reading spot, and is in addition to the home's stated finished living area (bonus square footage). This home's story is not in a make-over featuring this season's decor cycle; its timeless and classic character draws from craftsmen features such as its raised foundation, brick exterior, real wood floors, tiled baths, masonry hearth and more. Seller has continued previous owner's responsible stewardship by investing in preventative crawlspace encapsulation, recent HVAC... and of course gardening. If the home's pictures have you thinking, maybe, just maybe this one... schedule a showing to see if your story thrives here.
