Description

Imagine owning your own home for as little as $490 dollars a month! Yes, this home can cost you as little as $490 for the total monthly payment. It is in great shape and waiting for you. The 2 story Brick Townhome was completely rebuilt by the Wilmington Housing Partnership in 2008. Although this home has all of todays desired amenities, touches of the old world charm still remain like the vestibule entry with glass inset door, the original fireplace mantel with oval mirror in the living room and a beautiful deep rich tone spindle railing on the stairwell. This very appealing home has 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bath, laminate wood floors, sunny eat-in kitchen, gas heat, central air and a powder room. Inviting front porch is highlighted by a storm door and solid front entry door with private entry vestibule. The kitchen was updated to provide plenty of storage and room to cook. It has modern cabinets, large single sink, a gas stove, dishwasher and refrigerator. The layout of the kitchen allows a cook to interact and entertain without having to give up work space. Upstairs the main bedroom has a more than enough space for a king sized bed and additional dresser(s) or seating options plus a bonus walk-in closet that is in fact a private dressing room, the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms are nice in size and private from the master suite. The bathroom has a tub/shower surround, bright lighting, vanity with storage, a full window and is finished in neutral tones.
