The Wright Suite, historic live
Historic 1BR/1BA suite in downtown Wilmington with private parking—walk to Riverwalk, shops, and restaurants.
Welcome to The Wright Suite at Third & Oak, a ground-level one-bedroom retreat nestled in the historic Wright-Murchison House, built circa 1870. Once home to Lucy Wright Murchison Giles and her daughter Lucile, this elegant space blends Wilmington’s rich heritage with modern comfort.
Inside, sunlight pours into a refined living space with vintage charm. A fully stocked kitchen with a gas stove invites home-cooked meals, and the serene bedroom offers restful nights after days of adventure. Two reserved parking spaces in our private lot—rare in downtown—make exploring effortless.
Perfect for couples or solo travelers, you’re just steps from the Riverwalk, boutique shops, cafes, and the best of Wilmington’s vibrant historic district. Stay where charm, comfort, and history meet—and park with ease.
