Happy Valley is one of the top places to live in downtown Wilmington. 1511 N. Adams provides a wonderful opportunity to own a charming updated home that has retained many beautiful original features. Extensive renovations were completed in the fall of 2014. When you enter this home, you will immediately appreciate the details. From the beautiful hardwood floors to the built-in alcoves with accent lights, this home has both character and style. Enter through the brick archway to the custom kitchen, where you will find beautiful Mid-Continent cabinets with soft- close drawers. The stainless-steel appliances include a five-burner gas cooktop, an electric wall oven, a dishwasher and a refrigerator. The kitchen also features a ceramic-tile floor, silestone quartz countertops, recessed lighting, a bar seating area and an exposed brick wall. Other benefits include a partially enclosed brick courtyard giving the outside space a European feel. Adding string lights would make it perfect for entertaining! The outside wall was painted and retaining wall repaired. Upstairs is a large master with vaulted ceilings, a ceiling fan, extra windows (this home is on the end of the row) and a walk-in closet. There is an updated bathroom with a pocket door, tub with a glass sliding door and a tile floor.
