Welcome to the John J Fowler house, a stunning Queen Anne style home with a complete down-to-the studs restoration and winner of the historic preservation rehabilitation award in 2015. The talented owners have completely redesigned the interiors to compliment the 10'' moldings, working pocket doors, pristine heart pine floors and 7 fireplaces. The historic sized kitchen has a significant ''WOW'' factor and features an oversized butlers pantry, separate service area, quartz/marble counters, newer Fisher & Paykel and ILVE appliances, and custom island. Two baths have also been redesigned, the master with a generous walk-in shower. For a complete list of features, see attached list in documents. FLOOR PLAN ATTACHED IN DOCUMENTS. Many a dinner party has been thrown in the home which spills out onto the the rear patio area, which, because of the east facing orientation, is perfect for summer and fall evenings. Off Street parking accommodates as many as 2-4+ cars comfortably. Front street is arguably the premier residential location in historic Wilmington where you can enjoy watching the Percheron horse and carriage ride tour along Front Street daily. The Cape Fear river and two mile riverwalk are just one block away showcasing the most spectacular sunsets. Abundant dining and shopping is similarly close by. Note this home originally was a duplex and could easily be returned to this functionality with its small kitchen upstairs or use several rooms upstairs for a separate apartment. Some furnishings can be bought separately.
