If your dream has always been to live in downtown Wilmington, but you'd prefer a home built in this century, 617 S 5th Avenue is for you! Built in 2006, this three bedroom, two and a half bath home offers a bright, spacious floor plan just steps from the charm of Castle Street. From morning coffee at Luna Caffe and a class at Terra Sol Yoga Studio to dinner at Olivero or Rx Chicken & Oysters, some of Wilmington's most loved spots are just steps from your front door. Inside, the main level is designed for easy living and entertaining, with a bright, open concept layout that creates a natural connection between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. A walk in pantry provides generous storage, while the dedicated laundry room just off the kitchen adds functionality that can be hard to find in downtown Wilmington homes. Upstairs, three bedrooms offer comfortable separation from the main living areas, including a spacious primary suite with an ensuite bath, walk in closet, and private balcony that creates an inviting outdoor retreat. Heading outside, a large deck provides plenty of space for relaxing, dining, and entertaining. The property also offers valuable ADU potential, with zoning that allows for an accessory dwelling unit that could create space for a guest house, home office, studio, additional living area, or added rental income potential. Whether you're searching for a primary residence in downtown Wilmington or an investment property with strong rental potential, this home offers a unique combination of newer construction, a modern floor plan, ADU potential, and walkability to the restaurants, coffee shops, and local businesses that make Castle Street such a vibrant part of downtown Wilmington.
