Description

Unlock the potential of this spacious 3,200+ sq ft home tucked away in the established Echo Farms community of Wilmington, NC, perfectly situated on Barnards Creek. This is a rare chance for the investor, flipper, or vision-driven homeowner looking for their next value-add project in a sought-after location.

Offering 5 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, this home boasts a generous footprint that's ideal for reimagining layouts, modernizing finishes, or executing a full renovation to maximize resale or rental potential. The size alone opens the door to endless possibilities—create a stunning primary suite, add flexible living spaces, or design the open-concept floor plan today's buyers crave.

Set on a creekside lot, the property enjoys a peaceful, natural backdrop that's increasingly hard to find. Whether you envision outdoor living spaces, a dock, or simply capitalizing on the water-adjacent setting, Barnards Creek adds a unique lifestyle and resale appeal.

No HOA means more freedom and fewer restrictions—an attractive bonus for investors and homeowners alike. Echo Farms is known for its mature landscaping, convenient access to shopping, dining, golf, and major roadways, and proximity to Wilmington's historic downtown and beaches.

This is truly a diamond in the rough—priced and positioned for those who recognize opportunity. With the right updates, this home has the potential to shine as a high-end resale, long-term rental, or personalized dream home in one of Wilmington's most desirable areas.

Bring your contractor, your creativity, and your vision. Opportunities like this—large square footage, creekfront setting, no HOA, and prime location—don't come along often.

Sold as-is. Serious potential for serious returns.

    "Echo Farms = nice. Antiqua = horrible. Nothing unique or happy about it. Just waiting until we can move. Dirty apartments, unhelpful leasing office staff, cockroaches everywhere, awful neighbors, terrible laundromat, NOT actually dog friendly, everything breaks, crocodiles to worry about, trash everywhere, and unsafe at night with drivers nearly mowing you over or weirdos lurking about."

    "The apartment complex “Antiqua” says that they’re dog friendly, but they’re really NOT. It’s bad. Living there has been horrific for my dogs and myself. Don’t bother. Other than that, dogs are welcomed in the Echo Farms area!"
