Property Description

Welcome to 826 N Van Buren Street, a charming 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home located in Wilmington’s desirable Cool Spring neighborhood. Offering a comfortable blend of character, space, and convenience, this home provides a wonderful opportunity to enjoy city living in one of Wilmington’s established residential communities. The enclosed front porch offers a warm welcome, setting the stage for the home’s unique charm. Inside, you’ll find a spacious living room with a wood burning fireplace, gorgeous hardwood floors and plenty of windows which allow for an abundance of natural light. Just beyond the living room, you have a large kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances and black shaker-style cabinets which provide a striking contrast to the light-colored granite countertops and subway tile backsplash. Tucked away at the rear of the home, the family room features recessed lighting and plush carpeting, creating a comfortable space to relax and unwind. From the family room, you have direct outside access to your own private oasis. The fully fenced backyard, highlighted by a charming pergola, creates the perfect outdoor space. Completing the main level is a beautifully updated powder room and convenient laundry room. Upstairs on the second floor are 2 generously sized bedrooms and two full baths. The footprint of the primary bedroom was expanded in 2022 to incorporate a private sitting room area, making it a true bedroom suite. The primary bath features tile flooring, a sizable walk-in shower and a custom-built vanity with contemporary vessel sink and oversized framed mirror. Completing the primary bath is direct access to a new deck, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. The second bedroom on this floor is also nice in size with large windows and exposed brick wall. A charming sitting nook adds a cozy touch to this level, along with an additional stylish full bath showcasing black / white tile flooring, tub / shower combination with a tiled surround and a uniquely shaped custom vanity. The 3rd floor is a versatile space which features a large open bedroom / workspace with light colored carpeting, exposed brick walls and an exterior door which leads to yet another deck! And last but not least is the unfinished basement space which is perfect for storage. Conveniently located near downtown Wilmington, Trolley Square, local parks, restaurants, shopping, and major commuter routes, 826 N Van Buren Street puts many of the city’s amenities within easy reach.
