1217 N King St, Unit 1217 N King St

Located on Lawyers Row in Wilmington’s downtown business district, this flexible 2/3-bedroom home offers a rare combination of residential comfort, live-work functionality, private outdoor space, and off-street parking. Previously used as a law office and situated in an office-zoned area, the property is especially well suited for professionals, remote workers, or anyone looking for a more functional downtown layout than a typical rental can offer.
Offering approximately 1,264 square feet above grade plus a large basement for storage, the home features a practical two-level layout with first-floor office functionality and second-floor main living space. The first floor includes a dedicated business office, washer and dryer, and a large bonus room that can function as a spacious bedroom with lounge area, second living room, guest space, or flex room. A layout image is also included in the photo set to help illustrate the flow of the home.
The second floor serves as the main living level and has been completely remodeled and professionally painted. It features an open living area and an updated kitchen with quartz countertops, modern finishes, and a 4-chair island. The largest upstairs bedroom is the middle room next to the bathroom, while the smaller rear bedroom works well as a compact bedroom, dressing room, or storage overflow depending on your needs.
The home also features an updated tiled bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower. Additional comfort features include central AC, an Ecobee thermostat, upgraded electric service completed in 2023, and a new high-efficiency gas furnace installed in 2024.
Rare for the area, the property includes a maintenance-free fenced backyard with deck, a large clean and dry basement for valuable extra storage, and 2 off-street tandem parking spaces. The parking spaces are located across the street in the rear parking area behind 1212 N King, where there are 2 rows of 3 spaces total. This unit includes 2 tandem spaces within that rear parking area. Metered street parking is also available out front from 8 AM to 6 PM, and is free at night and on weekends.
Located in downtown Wilmington, the property is close to Hotel DuPont, Rodney Square, Market Street dining, Brandywine Park, Wilmington Amtrak Station, Christiana Hospital, and the growing downtown office corridor, including the Bracebridge office project on the 1100 block of N King Street. Pets will be considered on a case-by-case basis, subject to owner approval.
**Available furnished or unfurnished. Furnished rate is $2,500/month. Current furnishings include 3 Roku wall mounted TVs, 2 queen beds, island seating, basic living room furnishings, and 3 new upstairs window AC units that can be used during hot weather to supplement the central air and help keep energy costs down.**
