FIRST TIME OFFERED FOR SALE SINCE 1982! A rare opportunity awaits in Wilmington's established Sunset Park neighborhood. Welcome to 2029 Van Buren Street, a beautifully maintained and remarkably preserved two-story home offering approximately 1,724 heated square feet, 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. After more than four decades under the same ownership, this special property is ready to begin its next chapter. Step inside and you'll immediately understand what makes this home different. Beautiful wood floors, rich solid wood paneling, built-in details, a brick fireplace and traditional staircase create an interior filled with warmth, character and personality. Rather than being remodeled to follow every passing trend, the home has retained many of the distinctive details and craftsmanship that give homes of its era their timeless appeal. Multiple living spaces include a living room, dining area and den, providing plenty of room for everyday living and entertaining. The home has been exceptionally cared for throughout the years while receiving meaningful improvements where they matter.

The pride of ownership continues outdoors, where an established lawn and mature landscaping complement the home's classic curb appeal. The residence is connected to municipal water, while a private well supplies the Rain Bird irrigation system serving the yard, providing a dedicated water source for maintaining the grounds. An electrified workshop/storage building offers additional space for hobbies, tools, lawn equipment, storage or projects. The Sunset Park location adds even more to the appeal. The neighborhood is recognized as a National Register Historic District, reflecting its history as one of Wilmington's established early residential communities. Nearby Greenfield Park encompasses approximately 250 acres surrounding Greenfield Lake and features a 4.8-mile paved walking and biking path, playgrounds, picnic areas, fishing and water access, as well as the Greenfield Lake Amphitheater. The property also offers convenient access to downtown Wilmington and the surrounding area. 2029 Van Buren Street isn't a reproduction of yesterday's character. It has been here all along.
