Well, we finally found a place to live in Wilmington! We will be living RIGHT downtown on 2nd and Nun Street in a historic home that has been converted into 3 units. We are renting a top floor two bedroom with high ceilings and loads of character. My first impression of the place was, "oh my gosh, this looks like an old English pub...we'll take it!" As you can see from the pictures, it is very charming -- so much so that the trolley and horse drawn carriage tours of the area go down the street. It's about a four minute walk to the river where all the action of a thriving downtown is taking place. It's also only 1 mile to Acme, my new art studio. It's a beautiful and easy walk or bike ride away. Our door is there on the second level, which gives us access to the covered porch -- perfect for grilling out on those low-key Southern evenings.
Our neighborhood is filled with mansions, other historic homes, and Bed and Breakfasts. Here is a picture of our neighbors home...needless to say, we won't even try to keep up with the Joneses.
Our home in Fayetteville is on the market, and so far we've been showing in regularly. In the meantime, we're hustling to get our stuff to Wilmington. Once we're more settled in, I'll post some pics of the inside.
