About This Home
As of November 2024This 1925 meticulously updated bungalow is seated on a lot and a half in historic Carolina Place/Ardmore. The house retains much of the original character and charm with durable oak flooring in high-traffic areas and heart pine throughout the bedrooms and kitchen; French doors; picture molding; lower-maintenance brick exterior; recently reglazed, original windows. In addition to the historic charm, the owners have updated the house to its current turnkey status. These updates include: the addition of a 2-car garage; remodeled bathrooms to include Carrara marble flooring in the main bathroom; off-street parking and carport; installation of additional beams and pilings to bring the house to modern construction standards; a fully encapsulated crawl space with dehumidifier; gutters connected to an underground drainage system; electrical and plumbing updates; exterior painting; quartz countertops; newer roof; and 8-foot privacy fence and shaded lounge area in the backyard.Meet your neighbors while relaxing on the front porch or enjoy your fully fenced and private backyard. Nearby Wallace Park, which borders Burnt Mill Creek, is great for dog walking and soaking in some nature and also has a playground and basketball court.This location is highly sought after with it's close proximity to Cargo District, Soda Pop District and our historic riverfront downtown; which are all easily accessed by foot, bike or vehicle. This neighborhood is also a convenient 8.4 miles to Wrightsville Beach, 15 miles to Carolina Beach and 3.3 miles to the airport.This home is a rare find in this area with a driveway, carport and 2 car garage. Enjoy all of the charm of a historic home and neighborhood with the conveniences of modern day living.Carolina Place/Ardmore is truly a community of neighbors who easily become friends and they are ready to welcome you to the neighborhood!**Furnishings negotiable and home warranty offered.
