Attention investors and handy people! Solid brick ranch outside city limits with no HOA, ready for your vision. This property needs primarily cosmetic updates, making it a great candidate for a quick flip or a value-add project with strong sweat equity potential.
This charming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home sits on a spacious 0.30-acre lot and is just a short drive to Carolina Beach, giving you the perfect blend of everyday comfort and coastal convenience. Major updates include a roof approximately 5-6 years old and an HVAC system replaced in 2019.
Enjoy outdoor living with a screened-in patio, storage shed, and a well-maintained yard featuring mature azalea bushes. The property also includes two koi ponds (fish removed), offering a unique landscaping feature or a great opportunity to customize the space to your vision.
Additional highlights include a brand-new well pump connected to the sprinkler system.
Being sold as-is, this home is full of potential and ready for its next owner to make it their own.
