Life is easy in this secluded ranch on a huge parcel of land in white-hot Wilmington. Conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood near Rte 93 and the North Wilmington commuter rail stop, this expansive property offers massive potential. In the house itself, the thoughtful open floor plan includes a wood stove-warmed foyer that opens into a large eat-in kitchen. The brightly lit bedrooms are roomy and include large closets. Rounding out the upper level is a large living/rumpus room and full bath. The finished basement includes a huge open living room/family room/guest bedroom, contemporary second bath, comfortable laundry and a large bonus room currently used as a walk-in closet. This combination of house and lot is unheard of at this price in Wilmington, and there may exist potential for subdivision of the lot in the future, however, buyers should do their own due diligence.
