About This Home

As of December 2024

Welcome to North Wilmington! This property presents a great opportunity for an owner-occupant with fix-up financing or an investor. This 3-bedroom cape is zoned CN - Commercial Neighborhood, which gives the new owner some additional options.
The house needs work but does have a two-car garage with interior access via the oversized mud room/laundry area that could also provide additional pantry area, has a full dry basement, and a large side yard. Sharpless is a quiet street, despite the proximity to Concord Pike, which makes it great for easy access to points north and south.
NOTE: Cash or fix-up financing only.
