What a great find on a large wooded lot just minutes from Wrightsville Beach! This well built brick ranch has a bright open floor plan, original hardwood flooring throughout the living areas and beautifully updated full bathrooms. Large combination kitchen and dining with tile flooring and stainless steal appliances. All 3 bedrooms are spacious with plenty of closet space, large windows and recess lighting. Relax and enjoy the natural environment of your private backyard or entertain friends on the rocking chair front porch. Very low maintenance living since the windows have been replaced and HVAC is only 2 years old. Unbeatable location on a low traffic street close to everything!
Location, Location, Location! Home is near UNCW, Wrightsville Beach & the Cape Fear Hospital. Great investment or starter home, has lots of potential. It sits on large lot w/large backyard. Acreage is estimate due to irregular lot, buyer to verify acreage. All brick house with 3 bedrooms 1 -1/2 baths, hardwood floors throughout. House needs some cosmetics. Tenant occupied until 12/1/04.
