Description

This charming, custom built ranch is deceptively large with 4 bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, a flexible floor plan, and a full, mostly finished basement. Located in the desirable neighborhood of Afton, this well-maintained ranch is ideal for the buyer looking to add their own personal touches and create a home. The mostly fenced in backyard and screened in porch will delight any nature lover. The first floor has newly uncovered hardwood floors. The spacious living room is bright and is the perfect room to unwind. The dining space will host the most festive of celebrations. The first three bedrooms and full bath are tucked away to ensure privacy from any visitors. The fourth bedroom/office has an easily expendable wall which would allow the space to flow seamlessly into the kitchen. The number of closets throughout the house is evidence that the floorplan was designed with the comfort of a homeowner in mind. In the basement, the family room is accented by a brick fireplace. There are also a few multipurpose areas that could serve a number of needs. Updates include a 30 yr roof (2014) and Replacement windows (2017). A pre-listing home inspection is offered to all buyers for review, as this property is being sold As-Is.

    "I've lived on this block for almost 6 years now. For the most part, it is a quiet block with older residents who are retired, a few younger couples that work and maintain our respectable area. Traffic tends to be challenging due to its relative location in downtown Wilmington, however this is minor compared to the conditions of some areas within a half of a square mile. Neighbors are friendly and we look out for each other."
