A rare entry level opportunity in Wilmington is here. Nestled on nearly a half-acre just moments from Greenfield Lake, this cottage-style home offers the chance to move right in while adding your own updates over time. Whether you're a first-time buyer, investor, or someone looking to build equity through improvements, the location and potential are hard to match at this price.
Enjoy being just 0.3 miles from Greenfield Lake's trails, amphitheater and outdoor recreation, 0.2 miles from Legion Stadium, minutes to downtown Wilmington's restaurants, breweries and shopping, and approximately 25 minutes from some of southeastern North Carolina's most beautiful beaches. Recent improvements include cement board siding and replacement windows (2020), roof (2016 per prior owner), and HVAC system (2016 per prior owner). The main level offers approximately 935 heated square feet with two bedrooms, dining room, kitchen and full bath. Two additional finished rooms are located upstairs but are not included in the heated square footage due to ceiling height slightly under 7' and stair configuration. Buyers are encouraged to verify any intended uses or future modifications with appropriate professionals and local building authorities. Opportunities like this, with this much land and this location, don't come along often. Schedule your showing today and see the potential for yourself.
