Description
The historic Von Glahn House, built in 1859, is a well-established center of business with a distinguished past, including its former use as the Mayor of Wilmington's office. Located within the Historic District, this iconic property is within walking distance of the courthouse, City Hall, downtown businesses, and surrounding residential neighborhoods.
The three-story building offers approximately nine large offices, a spacious meeting room, reception area, and multiple file/storage areas. Four of the upstairs offices are currently occupied by a professional service tenant, providing immediate income potential.
Historic charm is evident throughout the property, complemented by a highly convenient location. Additional features include off-street parking and covered parking spaces—an uncommon amenity for a property of this era.
