About this home

This is the home you have been waiting for! Nicely updated one level ranch home on a large corner lot. Great location on a street without much traffic. You're close to Cape Fear Hospital, UNCW & Wrightsville Beach (approx. 4 miles to the WB bridge). The first thing you will notice is the rocking chair front porch as you approach. Updates include new kitchen cabinets, counters, range & a built-in microwave. Windows, light fixtures, exterior & interior doors have also been replaced. This light & bright home has hardwoods in most of the home & vintage tile floors in the bathroom. Additional freestanding building in the backyard. Formerly a garage, it is perfect for storage, a play space, gym or studio. There is a rear deck and a patio with a pergola where you can enjoy the old fashioned swing. This home is made even more appealing because there is no HOA. Home is move-in ready. Act now and be in before the holidays!
