Bring your vision to over half an acre in Wilmington. This single-level 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath ranch sits on a 0.54-acre lot backing directly to James E.L. Wade Park, with no HOA. Built in 1977 and offering approximately 1,176 square feet, it's a value-add opportunity in a location that's tough to beat. A spacious 17' x 15' living room opens to the dining area, with tile flooring through the living, dining, kitchen, and central hallway, and carpet in the three bedrooms. The kitchen conveys with refrigerator, electric range, microwave, and dishwasher. A heat pump handles heating and cooling, an asphalt shingle roof tops the home, and the seller has already updated the electrical panel to current code -- one big-ticket item handled. The attached one-car garage works hard, with in-garage laundry, a rear workshop area, and a back door opening to the rear lot. Outside, a back patio and partial rear fencing round out the setting. Roughly 15 minutes to downtown Wilmington and within 30 of Wrightsville, Carolina, and Kure beaches. Add your updates, build equity, and make it your own. Sold as-is.
