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 roof was installed in 2024, and both the HVAC system and Generac generator were serviced prior to listing and have been routinely serviced in accordance with manufacturer recommendations. 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. Carefully maintained, beautifully preserved and offered to the market for the first time since 1982, this is a rare opportunity to become the next steward of a truly special Wilmington home.

A rare opportunity to own a piece of Wilmington history in the heart of Sunset Park, one of the city's most beloved downtown neighborhoods. Built in 1910, this 2,628 sq ft classic home has been thoughtfully and extensively updated -- the kind of bones-deep renovation that turns a historic gem into a move-in-ready home without sacrificing an ounce of character. The main level flows generously from a grand foyer through formal living and dining spaces into a completely rebuilt kitchen and adjoining room -- the kitchen area was taken to the studs and rebuilt from the ground up with modern finishes while honoring the home's original craftsmanship. Freshly stripped trim, staircase, and fireplace showcase the natural wood that newer homes simply can't replicate. Upstairs, three bedrooms -- including an oversized primary suite with a newly built walk-in closet -- offer flexibility for families, remote workers, or guests. Three full baths serve both levels with ease. Additional updates include nearly all-new electrical throughout, all outlets converted to grounded, new water supply lines including the main line, and a freshly run natural gas line serving the kitchen stove and an outdoor grill hookup -- plus a rear hose bib added for convenience. These are the high-ticket, low-glamour investments that protect buyers for decades. Step outside and the property delivers on every front -- literally. A large covered front porch sets the tone the moment you arrive, perfect for the slow mornings this neighborhood was made for. Out back, a rear deck leads to a private, fenced yard with a dedicated firepit area and a storage shed, all sheltered enough to feel like your own retreat. A carport keeps your vehicle covered without sacrificing the home's curb appeal. Sunset Park puts you minutes from Greenfield Lake Park, the Greenfield Lake Amphitheatre, and the South Front District's growing restaurant and bar scene, with the quiet, tree-lined streets that make this one of Wilmington's most sought-after addresses. This is the one people drive through Sunset Park hoping to find.
