The Dudley Mansion, Wilmington NC

http://www.thecarolinasfinest.com Historic luxury. Rare opportunity. Keeping up with the Jones's has just become a possibility. The Governor Dudley Mansion, built in 1825, was home to North Carolinas first elected governor, and also owned by Sarah and Pembroke Jones who many suggest the term "keeping up with the joneses" was coined after. The Jones's lavish lifestyle and extravagant parties were known and attended by many historical figures such as Wilhelm and the Vanderbilt's. The mansion underwent a complete renovation and restoration after being purchased in 2005. Bordered by shady tree lined historic district and sidewalk streets the estate was brought back to life and updated with all the conveniences of modern day living. Marble steps lead to the southern front porch and impressive columns. Step into a welcoming foyer and grand entry hall overlooking the sunroom, grounds, and historic waterfront.
