Description

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! This home is an absolute one-of-a-kind Wilmington GEM. The Seagate neighborhood was originally built around the last trolly stop before crossing the bridge to Wrightsville Beach. Now, it is a central hub for entertainment. Only 1 mile away from Bradley Creek public kayak launch, 4 miles from Wrightsville Beach, and extremely close to the very popular Wrightsville Beach Brewery, Seagate Bottle Shop, Salty Dog Bar/Grill, and the Triangle Lounge. This 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom home was built in 1920, and is old enough to be listed in the historic home registry of Wilmington. The character of this home is evident from the moment you lay eyes on the large front porch. As you enter, you will immediately notice the historic charm and the creative touches that make this home truly one-of-a-kind. The beautifully painted original doors, the stain glass transom window, 10ft ceilings, and the colorful panel in the dining room embody the creative spirit of Wilmington. The large back deck equipped with benches and a pergola is the perfect setting for summer BBQ's. Just off the deck you will find stairs that lead to the efficiency apartment above the kitchen which adds 263 SQFT OF ADDITIONAL LIVING AREA. The large backyard offers plenty of space for activities, or even the opportunity to build an additional garage or living space. In its current state, the home will need a new HVAC system and flooring to be installed before it will be approved for a conventional loan. The price reflects these needs, and offers the opportunity for an investor, or capable homeowner to purchase this piece of Wilmington history and substantially increase their equity once these updates are done. In a time where ''cookie cutter'' neighborhoods seem to be multiplying, I invite you to keep the creative spirit of our city alive and well.
