    What's special

    This beautifully renovated brick ranch home effortlessly combines classic charm with modern updates. Located in a desirable area just four miles from Wrightsville Beach and 6 miles from Riverfront Wilmington, it offers the perfect blend of convenience, comfort, and style. Additionally, it's right off the Cross City Trail, providing direct access to outdoor activities like biking, walking, and exploring the natural beauty of the area. Inside, you'll find a cozy and inviting living room and lounge area that are separate from the kitchen and dining area, offering a more intimate space for relaxation. The immense kitchen is a true standout, featuring sleek countertops, updated cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. A built-in dry bar adds a touch of elegance. The luxurious primary suite is a peaceful retreat, complete with a generous walk-in closet that offers ample storage space. The large primary bathroom is equally impressive, boasting a spacious walk-in shower and separate vanities, offering both convenience and luxury in a serene setting. While many updates are immediately visible, there are also thoughtful improvements that may go unnoticed, including a new roof, water heater, and attic insulation, all completed in 2022. Solid wood interior doors were added in 2024, enhancing both the home's functionality and aesthetic appeal. Additionally, the property comes with a transferable termite bond, offering extra peace of mind and protection for the home. Outside, the expansive backyard provides endless possibilities, from hosting summer barbecues to creating a garden or enjoying your private outdoor sanctuary. There is also a wired workshop/storage shed—ideal for DIY projects or additional storage. With its blend of classic appeal, modern finishes, and a prime location close to all that Wilmington has to offer, this home is a must-see.
