Property Description
Welcome to your own ''Wonderland in Wilmington.'' Get ready to be swept away by the creative decor and updates in one of historic Wilmington's most charming homes. Originally built in the 1830's, the present owner painstakingly modernized this dwelling, while keeping the historic integrity intact. From the first peak inside the simple front door, the pure white interior pops with personality from the foyer all the way to the screened porch and the pool area.
As charming as the historic home is, the garden oasis is straight out of a fairy tale. Just beyond the screened porch and pool is perhaps the real showstopper. Remnants of historic brick structures frame the landscaped areas that are lush with native plants and brick pathways. A majestic and rare black walnut tree (older than the house itself) commands attention on this spacious backyard haven. This beautiful garden oasis is fenced for privacy and is perfect for a private dip in the pool or a family gathering.
The historic plaque on the front porch displays this as the ''Major James Reilly House'' with a date of 1838, but there are parts of the house from the 1820's. Major Reilly was an Irish Emigrant who commanded the last remaining garrison forces at Fort Fisher. Reilly purchased the house in 1874 and lived in it for nine years.
