Welcome to the historic Dewey House, a beautiful 1926 residence nestled beneath a breathtaking canopy of live oaks and magnolias along the picturesque, sidewalk lined streets of Mimosa Place, one of Wilmington's most beloved historic enclaves between Live Oak Parkway and Country Club Road. Registered with the Wilmington Historic Foundation, this timeless home blends the craftsmanship and charm of the past with comfort and functionality.
Original hardwood floors, original windows, two fireplaces, and remarkable architectural details create warmth and character throughout. Iconic lighting, premium push button light switches with mother of pearl buttons, and thoughtful preservation of the home's historic features make every room feel special.
The flexible floor plan offers 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a dedicated office inside the main home, providing space for everyday living, working, and hosting guests. The spacious primary suite is enhanced by its own fireplace, creating a peaceful retreat.
Outside, the generous fenced backyard offers privacy, room to garden or entertain, and convenient alley access. A detached office studio with heating and air conditioning provides exceptional flexibility for a home office, creative studio, fitness space, or hobby room and is not included in the home's heated square footage.
Life on Mimosa Place is about more than the home itself. Residents cherish the quiet, tree lined streets, timeless architecture, and welcoming neighborhood atmosphere. Perfectly positioned just minutes from Historic Downtown Wilmington and approximately 15 minutes from Wrightsville Beach, this location offers the best of coastal living with easy access to dining and shopping.
Rich in history and beautifully maintained, the Dewey House is a rare opportunity to own a treasured piece of Wilmington's architectural heritage while enjoying the lifestyle that has made this neighborhood one of the city's most iconic.
