Step into the Holloway-Hunt House, a magnificent architectural marvel initiated in 1887 and meticulously finalized by 1905. Crafted by the skilled hands of William R Glenn, a renowned contractor, this neoclassical Revival style residence was for none other than Cammie Lord and Elisha Holloway. The year 1918 witnessed its acquisition by Henry Lacy Hunt, a prominent figure in banking and wholesale groceries. The Hunt family found solace within these walls until 1967.
Esteemed for its illustrious historical lineage, the Holloway-Hunt House has garnered the accolades of the Historic Wilmington Foundation, earned the watchful eye of the Historic Preservation, and stood the scrutiny of the City of Wilmington.
Gracing 1419 Market St in Wilmington, the Holloway-Hunt House now seamlessly marries contemporary enhancements with timeless aesthetics. A modernized electrical system replaces dated knob and tube wiring, ensuring tranquility in your new home. The refinished hardwood floors bestow an air of sophistication upon the residence. The kitchen has been updated with stainless appliances. Enthusiasts of architectural finesse will revel in the home's inherent charm and character.
Recent additions include two HVAC units installed in 2021, guaranteeing year-round comfort. New water heater as well. The interior is adorned with exquisite wainscoting, a testament to the house's style and panache.
Ease of access is facilitated by a side porch and a driveway off 15th street. The upper level boasts three bedrooms, two full baths, and an office, while the lower level graciously accommodates a foyer, parlor, sunroom, dining room, kitchen, and a half bath--offering an abundance of space for both leisure and entertainment.
A pull-down attic and storage space beneath the house offers plenty of spaces for all of life's extras.
