703 North West Street Wilmington, DE 19801

Located in Wilmington's Downtown Development District, the historic apartment building at 703 N West St is on the National Register of Historic Places since 1979. Constructed around 1760 by the Woodward family, the three-story, stuccoed stone structure with a brick rear ell retains Georgian elements. The L-shaped layout includes paneled walls, chair rails, original fireplaces, a mid-19th-century mantel with Minton tiles, wide floorboards, and a central staircase. The property offers potential for creative redevelopment, including multi-family housing, a single-family residence, or other adaptive uses. The property has lost its prior multi-family use and would require zoning board approval to reinstate apartments or similar configurations. Situated in the heart of Wilmington’s Downtown Development District, this property qualifies for incentives, including up to 20% rebates on qualified real property investments through Delaware’s Downtown Development Districts Rebate Program. As a National Register-listed site, it’s also eligible for federal historic preservation tax credits (up to 20% for certified rehabilitations) and potential state grants. The property is in rough condition and needs major renovations, including roof and stucco maintenance, interior updates, and system overhauls. It is offered as-is in Quaker Hill surrounded by commercial growth, historic districts, and easy access to downtown. The property size is 3150 square feet.
