416 S Front Street, Wilmington, NC 28401

Originally built at the corner of Front and Chestnut Streets in 1826, the William B. Meares House was relocated to its present location in 1889. Set within a well maintained historic building with a limited number of residences, this second floor home offers a rare blend of character, privacy, and modern comfort.

Striking the perfect balance of historic charm and modern updates, original wood floors, detailed moldings, mantels, and wavy glass windows were preserved during the 2025 renovation, which included updated electrical, plumbing, insulation, and a beautifully refreshed kitchen and bath.

Enjoy views of the Cape Fear River and a location just blocks from the Riverwalk, dining, shopping, and entertainment. The property offers flexibility as a primary residence, second home, or investment opportunity. Protected City Pass Parking for the Historic District.

$280/month HOA makes life easy, covering water/trash, landscaping, master insurance, common area maintenance, pest control, and even quarterly trash can cleaning. Furnishings are negotiable. Short term rentals (minimum of 7 night stay) allowed. Enjoy all that downtown life has to offer! Be sure to view the virtual tour (viewable on most but not all real estate platforms)!
