Welcome to this charming, updated 3 bed, 2 full bath, bungalow for sale in the sought after community of Carolina Place! Upon entering the home from the covered front porch, you'll be wowed by the abundance of natural light flooding the open floor plan. Beautiful oak wood flooring highlights the open living, dining and kitchen areas. The kitchen features include granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, pendant lighting above the peninsula with bar-stool seating and a pantry. The primary bedroom is located at the back of the house for maximum privacy and offers a good-sized walk-in closet, en-suite bathroom with double vanity and walk-in tiled shower, and french doors that lead onto the back deck. 2 additional bedrooms are located off the main hallway and share a full, updated bath with tub/ shower. Previous owners did a complete, down to the studs renovation in 2015. Current sellers had the crawl space encapsulated with a dehumidifier and drain added in Sept 2020. 40-year insulated metal roof, exterior attached storage room PLUS coveted off street parking. Carolina Place has it all and is located near the historic downtown area (2 miles), just down the street from our booming Cargo district, and a short walk to Wallace Park. It is only 3 miles to the Wilmington International Airport and 8.5 miles to Wrightsville Beach! This home is currently an active airbnb that had a gross payout of 56k in 2022.
