There is SO much to love about this charming 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath, brick ranch home. Nestled between the Ogden/ Porters Neck area of Wilmington, this home sits on a generous 0.41-acre lot, offering plenty of space and privacy with NO HOA + NO city taxes! Quintessentially Wilmington, the mature live oak tree in the front yard provides welcomed shade with adorable curb appeal. Stepping inside, the first thing you'll notice is the updated kitchen featuring elegant granite countertops, new cabinetry with uppers that extend to the ceiling, an island with pendant lighting above, stainless steel appliances and a reverse osmosis water filtration system! Complemented by the eat-in dining area with its charming board and batten accents, floral wallpaper and built-in storage benches. The open floor plan seamlessly connects the kitchen/ dining area to the living room where a large brick fireplace sets the tone for cozy nights at home. Located on the opposite end of the home, three bedrooms share a hall bathroom - while the larger primary bedroom contains a private half bath ensuite. Stepping outside from the kitchen, the spacious screened-in porch and connecting open deck (added in 2022) overlooks the backyard paradise - making it the perfect spot for relaxing or entertaining! The fenced-in backyard has it all with mature trees providing shade and privacy in the back with plenty of grass for play in the front portion of the space, 2 storage sheds (one that is fully wired) and a sweet little garden area! Have peace of mind knowing: Easy care & durable LVP flooring throughout living/dining/kitchen, New roof 2020, New windows 2022, Septic pumped and jetted, new D-Box 2024. Fabulous location - minutes to shopping, dining, entertainment, golf, boating/kayaking, medical facilities, & major highways.
