Description
A truly unique property with local history and timeless character, tucked away in a rural setting just minutes from I-40 for an easy commute to Wilmington and surrounding areas. Originally associated with the historic Godwin Lumber Company and once located near North Third Street and Castle Hayne Road, the structure has ties to early Wilmington broadcasting history, including connections to the original WMFD radio station and the early beginnings of WECT television. The home was later relocated by the Maples family to its current homesite and thoughtfully remodeled into a residence around 2000, blending historic character with modern functionality. This one-of-a-kind property offers spacious living areas, hardwood floors, a fireplace, large mudroom/breakfast area, and a flexible floor plan with room for multiple uses. Situated on a wooded lot with deck space, storage buildings, and room to enjoy country living while remaining conveniently close to Wilmington, beaches, dining, and shopping. Properties with this kind of story, charm, and setting rarely come available.
