Tucked among blooming magnolias, camellias, roses, and hydrangeas in the heart of Wilmington, this beautifully renovated home blends timeless charm with modern comfort. Located in the highly desirable Highland Hills community, 2412 Gillette Drive is a thoughtfully updated single-story brick residence which offers southern charm throughout. This property was featured in the 2014 Azalea Garden Tours. Since that time it has been enhanced with even more variety of flora.
From its inviting curb appeal to its warm, welcoming interior, the home is perfectly suited for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Recent renovations have opened the kitchen and living areas, creating a seamless flow that extends to the screened porch and a lush, garden-filled property.
The kitchen--truly the heart of the home--features a six-burner natural gas range, dishwasher, and refrigerator, highlighted by hand-hewn perimeter countertops and a marble-topped island. Soft-close, dovetail cabinetry adds both quality and function. Beautiful oak flooring runs throughout the main living areas, while tile flooring enhances the bathrooms. All bathrooms, including the powder room, have been tastefully updated.
The spacious primary suite easily accommodates a king-size bed and additional furnishings. A secondary bedroom, currently used as an office, includes a Murphy bed for flexible use, while a third bedroom provides comfortable space for family or guests.
Two generous gathering areas offer versatility: a cozy family room just off the kitchen and a formal living room featuring a fireplace and large French doors. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the home with natural light, bathing the home in warmth. The dining room is equally accommodating, ideal for both intimate dinners and larger holiday gatherings.
The 15x13 screened porch was constructed to support future enclosure, offering the option to convert it into a Carolina room. Flanked by spacious patios on either side, this outdoor space enhances the home's appeal and livability.
There is an irrigation system, with the well pump housed in the shed in the rear of the property, runs off well water to keep the yard looking amazingly green and lush. The two-car garage keeps your vehicles out of the elements and allows covered access to your home. The roof was replaced in 2025 and the heating and cooling system in 2015 with the heat being serviced by natural gas and the cooling by electric.
2412 Gillette Drive is truly a private oasis that must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated. Schedule your showing today to see all this exceptional property has to offer.
