About This Home

As of April 2026

Fully updated and just minutes from downtown Wilmington, this 2-bedroom, 1 bath home offers a clean, move-in ready space with a quiet backyard setting. Step inside to a bright living area with new flooring and fresh paint that carry through the main living spaces. Just off the living room, the kitchen has been updated and includes new appliances along with a clean, modern feel that fits the home well. Both bedrooms feature brand new carpet, and the bathroom has also been updated. Updated doors throughout the home continue the refreshed feel. Major improvements include newer windows, siding, roof, and a newer hot water tank, giving the next owner added peace of mind. Out back, the yard offers a peaceful setting with a wooded area that has been cleared to create additional usable space. A patio off the home provides a great place to relax, and two sheds offer plenty of storage. The home also features a very deep, dry crawlspace, giving you even more storage when needed. With its updates, quiet backyard setting, and location just minutes from downtown, this home offers a move-in ready opportunity in one of Wilmington's most convenient areas. Property being sold As/Is.
