5 Bedroom House in Wilmington

We invite you to enjoy the Port City from the comfort of this beautiful, 4000 square foot home, perfectly situated amid the peaceful, tree-lined residential streets of historic downtown Wilmington. The Magnolia House is located in historic downtown Wilmington just 15 blocks from the river. We are close to The Brooklyn Arts Center, several downtown coffee houses and art galleries, horse-drawn carriage rides, the Cotton Exchange, Screen Gems Studio, haunted pub crawls, the BEACH, golf, and acclaimed restaurants and shopping. Located in Carolina Heights, the Magnolia House is in an excellent location- just a 15 minute walk to the bustling riverfront, a 20 minute drive to the beach!. All linen, towels, kitchen items (service for 12) are included so you just need to pack your suitcase and make yourself at home!
The Magnolia House is a gathering place for families celebrating milestones, or vacationing together and seeking quiet refuge after a day of sightseeing. This beautiful historic property is a delight! Every room is bathed in sunlight with huge windows, many facing the large garden in the backyard with its old magnolia tree, and pathway leading down three steps to a lower formal garden, Camelia trees and Azaleas.
The house, built in 1921, is filled with original details including 10-foot ceilings, a wide brick path, the old call buttons used in the 1920's. There are 3 fireplaces (one functional) with large decorative mantels. The house has been included in the Wilmington Historic Foundation's Historic Home Tour and has also been used as a location for several TV series and commercials..
Our guests tell us that they love the chef’s kitchen with its stainless steel countertops and three sinks. Cooking for a large group is a pleasure in this well equipped and spacious kitchen. There is seating for 6 around the kitchen island for informal meals. The formal dining room seats 10-12 people comfortably for formal meals and holiday dinners.
The den is a comfortable retreat with a large sectional, built-in bookshelves with books to read and a 42-inch flat screen HDTV which allows you to wirelessly stream movies and TV shows and surf the Web. There is also game table seating six that opens for an impromptu poker night! The shelves are stocked with puzzles and all the best board games for a fun evening in with the family. There is an XBOX to keep the kids (and maybe even a few adults) entertained with wireless remote controls and several games. Bring your games along with you if you have a favorite!
The den also has a doggy door out to the fenced yard.
There is also a formal living room with ample seating that is perfect for entertaining guests or simply enjoying a cocktail by the fireplace on a winter night.
There are 5 large bedrooms (all located upstairs) with the following configurations:
Bedroom 1: Master bedroom: One King sized bed (with flat screen tv)
Bedroom 2: One Queen sized bed (with flat screen tv)
Bedroom 3: Second Master Bedroom-One King sized bed (with flat screen tv)
Bedroom 4 : One Full sized bed
Bedroom 5: Two twin sized beds and one full sized bed -OR can be configured as ONE full sized bed and ONE King sized bed--(This room connects to the master bedroom with solid wood french doors, so if you would like the doors open or closed, you have a choice. When the doors are closed, there is complete privacy, and the bedrooms are completely separate. if left open, the two rooms are connected and ideal for parents with very young children or infants.)
There is also a queen sized sleeper sofa in the living room downstairs,which can be set up for guests who cannot walk up the stairs with ease.
There are three full bathrooms with deep, oversized tubs located upstairs, and there is a half bath (no tub or shower) downstairs.
*Please note that all full bathrooms are located upstairs. There is a half bathroom (no bathtub) located downstairs near the sleeper sofa. The house is not handicap accessible.
The bathrooms have original fixtures and floor tiles to preserve the beauty and integrity of this historic home. This is not new construction. There may be a creaky floorboard, a dripping faucet here and there, but it is all original to this home built in 1921.
Pets will be considered on an individual basis, so please inquire before booking the house. We are generally a pet-friendly home! There is even a pet door to the fenced backyard. If your pet is authorized, you must sign a pet agreement. Your pet MUST BE on flea control to be considered. Pets are not allowed on furniture, including beds.
Enjoy the peaceful backyard and watch the kids play on the swing set (there is an infant seat, too) and slide while you grill outdoors on the gas grill.
We have a pack 'n play, stroller, and high chair for infants. There are also many puzzles and books and a few toys for children to keep them happy during your stay.
**Please also note that we do not authorize the use of the home for large, noisy parties. You may have a small event for the number of guests staying with you. This is a residential neighborhood and we are respectful of our neighbors' right to a quiet and peaceful environment.
Throughout the year, the Magnolia House offers the comforts of home in the wonderful Port City! Come and enjoy!
*** Also of note--Our property has a B&B license and this B&B is a modern take on the way people travel. With an on-site manager who resides on the property, you will still feel as though you are completely alone and have complete privacy. Our manager, Katie, lives in a separate unit on the grounds. She has a separate entrance to the yard and is available only to the extent that you wish her to be. We offer keyless entry to the house so you don’t even have to meet anyone, but Katie is available for any emergencies during your stay. Need to find a flashlight? Katie can be there to show you where it is! But, if you desire privacy and the feeling that you are home without having to say "hello" to anyone, you can have that as well. We can also provide grocery shopping service prior to your stay and have the refrigerator stocked with all your favorite items and provide you with the receipt (hourly rate applies for shopping service). Welcome to the modern B&B in the historic neighborhood!

Summary: This house truly is beautiful. It has plenty of room for larger groups looking to stay or even a small group. It is very reasonably priced for the 4000 square feet it offers. It is a 3 minute drive or Uber to the river walk and shops and restaurants. The property manager was very helpful and accessible. We had debated a beach house but I’m glad we chose this place. Very cool and clean colonial style home. Highly recommend staying here if you are looking to be close to everything Wilmington has to offer!

Summary: We reserved this home because we were hosting family and friends for the weekend. Our daughter graduated college, and we needed a good-sized home to host out-of-town family and a dinner party. Everybody loved it. We had chefs prepare dinner. The kitchen was perfect for them—plenty of space with three sinks. This is a historical home with "quirks," as most do have. Made it fun though!

Summary: We gathered in Wilmington to spend time with friends that we all made back in the 70s in Charlotte. We try to get together annually and this year we chose Wilmington because one of the couples now lives Wilmington. Staying in this house was great for 9 of the folks in our group. This house was very clean. The beds were comfortable and the living areas, two of them, were large and lots of furniture to sit on and visit with our friends.

Summary: The home was beautiful inside and out. We arrived a little early as i notified Katie, she was fantastic as we was allowed to enter 30 minutes ahead of the scheduled time. The home had plenty of room for my family to be close, but, not crowded. We enjoyed the quiet sound of the neighborhood and loved the large magnolia tree in the back yard. We visited the riverwalk and the USS North Carolina as i revisit my 1st Duty station (Camp Lejeune) The owner made herself readily available should anything come about. My family really Loved the home, location, and ease to parking Do yourself a favor and schedule and schedule a stay or vacay here you wont reget it. Thank you Katie.

Summary: The house was as described by the owner so that our entire large family was quite comfortable. the neighborhood was in a very quiet suburb and welcoming. The backyard was big enough that all the grandkids could run,jump,climb a big tree. Everyone had a big bedroom with access to a private bath. We would definitely come back and recommend for a large family/group. Manger and owners responded promptly to any questions or concerns we had. A very pleasant experience and vacation was had by the whole family(8 adults and 4 kiddos).

Summary: Our family (10 adults) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Magnolia House while visiting Wilmington for my nieces wedding. The host was attentive to all questions and requests to include arranging an early check-in which was definitely appreciated! The location seemed central to going everyplace in the area. We found the house to be spacious and well equipped. In summary, we highly recommend this VRBO home.

Summary: We arrived for 3 nights to celebrate my daughter’s college graduation. There were 8 of us staying in this home. There was more than enough space! We had extra beds too! The downstairs had plenty of space to gather and socialize. The backyard as well! If you need a place to gather with other family or friends staying nearby, this home is perfect! I fell in love with the house immediately. The hardwood floors throughout, the high ceilings, the old/historic feel. The host thought of everything for the kitchen! Even a vase for all of the flowers our daughter received. The host was easy to reach. We arrived a bit early and she was able to let us in the home. ( which was great as I traveling with my 87 year old mother!). The home was clean, the neighbors that I spoke to were kind, and the location is within a mile from the historic district. If I need to return to Wilmington with family again, I will definitely stay here again! Thank you Natalie!
