Description

Great Investment Opportunity in a safe and quiet neighborhood. This double lot, multi unit property presents endless possibilities and potential to earn great income. The first floor of the duplex features two bedrooms, an updated kitchen, fresh paint, new carpet and washer/dryer. The upstairs one bedroom is spacious and wide open with lots of windows, a fireplace, new carpet, fresh paint, washer/dryer and separate access. Separate utilities for each unit. New windows throughout, new heaters for both units and updated electric. One car garage previously rented for $80. Zoned as a Duplex with a four car garage but subdivision is possible and potential for third unit as four car garage was converted to a one car garage with two bedroom apartment. Take down the garage and build a second duplex for four separate units. Great office with storage for contractor. The duplex covers the mortgage and then some, you decide how you want to develop the rest.

Around Christmas we take a collection at the school for non-perishable foods and any toys that can afford to be donated to help give needy the families Christmas dinner and their children a gift under the tree. Just because the family feel down on their luck, children shouldn’t be robbed of the magic of Christmas. "

    "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."
