Classic brick ranch charm, thoughtful updates, and a beautifully planned garden come together in the heart of Wilmington. Set on almost half an acre, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers inviting indoor and outdoor spaces, original character, and practical improvements. The garden was created by a Master Gardener with a clear vision: beautiful, beginner-friendly landscaping that is drought-resistant, easy to care for, and pollinator-friendly. It includes native trees, edible plantings, and a variety of selections that provide color and interest throughout the year. Inside, hardwood floors run throughout the living room, dining room, hallway, and bedrooms. The tiled den features a fireplace and French doors that lead to a screened porch. The charming kitchen includes tile flooring, granite countertops, and a generous amount of storage. A doorway leads to a multi-functional room with abundant built-in cabinets, as well as three extra-tall windows that bring in natural light and frame a lovely view of the garden. A sliding barn door opens to the utility/laundry room. Both bathrooms have updated vanities, with LVP flooring in one and tile flooring in the other. Additional updates include all-new windows, plus an HVAC and attic insulation that was replaced in 2021 (see MLS docs for full list of updates and more about garden). Outside, enjoy an expansive screened porch, a private back yard, an outdoor shower, and a large, detached workshop/shed. A well supplies water for irrigation and two exterior hose bibs. Located minutes from UNCW, Wrightsville Beach, the municipal golf course, and Long Leaf Park.
