There’s just something special about a home with history, and this Greek Revival gem, built in 1866, certainly has it. Original wide-plank floors, high ceilings, and tons of natural light make it immediately warm and welcoming. The kitchen’s exposed brick and cozy layout feel like they were made for family gatherings. But what really gets me is that wide front porch and those beautiful side yards—perfect spots for relaxing!

From the listing
Once the cherished residence of Lt. Governor W.B. Cooper, this property offers a rare blend of historical significance and modern comfort. Architectural Distinction: Experience the timeless elegance of Greek Revival architecture, characterized by its symmetrical façade, low-pitched gable roofs, and classic simplicity. This home retains its original layout (with a tasteful rear addition) and boasts original wood floors, with 36 windows creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. Notably, this is one of only three remaining homes in downtown Wilmington built from this floor plan, adding to its unique appeal. Spacious Lot & Abundant Light: Unlike the narrow lots common in Victorian architecture in Wilmington, this Greek Revival home features a wide lot, equivalent to the width of two typical Victorian homes.
