2046 Carolina Beach Rd, Wilmington, NC, 28401

A broad, classic front porch announces this 1920 Sunset Park bungalow the moment you arrive — a rare find on Carolina Beach Road that blends historic character with pragmatic, everyday advantages. Step inside to a bright, efficiently scaled floor plan across 1,143 square feet: three bedrooms and a well-sited full bath wrap around living areas that preserve original proportions while delivering solid functional value for modern living. The listing emphasizes original architectural integrity alongside contemporary comforts; the home is equipped with air conditioning and offers a comfortable footprint for a first-time buyer, investor, or downsizer.

The property’s strategic rear alley access sets it apart in this historic district. That alley creates private off-street parking possibilities, convenient backyard utility, and a clear path for potential future detached improvements — all without interrupting the bungalow’s charming street-facing curb appeal. Interior spaces flow from the porch into naturally lit rooms that make efficient use of every square foot and invite personalization through tasteful updates.

Living here places you within a short drive — and easy bike or pedestrian trip — to Greenfield Lake Park’s scenic trails and water views, while downtown Wilmington’s restaurants, arts venues and Riverwalk are only minutes away. That proximity gives this address the daily conveniences of urban life while maintaining the quieter rhythm of a well-established residential block.

Offered at $280,000, the list price aligns with automated valuation midpoint data and reflects the balance of historic charm, central location and practical features like alley access and A/C. Whether you’re looking for a thoughtfully sited starter home, a well-located rental, or a project with upside, 2046 Carolina Beach Rd delivers a combination of tangible assets rarely available in this pocket of Wilmington.
