Description
Come see one of the most unique residential opportunities in our historic downtown! The Wm B. Meares House was originally built on Chestnut St. in 1826 and moved to her current location in 1889. Standing stately above the river side of Front Street, this 3 story plaqued property has been a family residence, the Civil War Hospital for the Union Troops and has served many over decades as multi-family rental residences. Ultimately, 416 became a collection of ”condos” in early 2024 and 6 of the 7 have been sold. Adding to the stately character of this historically significant address is the large backyard which has fantastic views and gardens. Those views include the river, the lights of the passing boats and the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge. Those views are further shared with this top floor unit’s bedroom where broad range views frame the river from Battleship to our namesake bridge. * 7 night minimum rental period* Protected City Pass Parking* Top Floor* Walk to everything downtown location* $280/month for HOA dues covers master insurance, landscaping, water/trash, common area maintenance, monthly stairwell and porch cleaning, quarterly Citrus Cans cleaning and pest control. *Owner Seller financing available with terms.Please do not access the property or backyard without agent permission as this is the last unit for sale and some of the units are occupied full time and others as a second home
