About this home
* Seller is now offering a 2-1 Rate Buydown - enjoy substantially lower rates for your first 2 years! * A rare opportunity in the heart of Oleander, just steps from Cape Fear Country Club, this beautifully updated brick Cape Cod pairs one of Wilmington's most coveted locations with a first-floor primary suite, oversized detached two-car garage, generous .32-acre lot, and an abundance of flexible living space. Beyond its 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, the home lives exceptionally large with a spacious flex room ideal as a 4th bedroom, a dedicated office with custom built-ins, and a separate den/playroom--all conveniently located on the main level. Set along a picturesque, tree-lined street and surrounded by mature landscaping, the home immediately captures the character and charm that make this established neighborhood so special. Inside, warm, light-filled spaces blend timeless details with thoughtful updates. The main-level primary suite features a private en suite bath with walk-in shower and two closets, including a custom California Closet. At the heart of the home, the inviting eat-in kitchen features quartz countertops, updated cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, and tile backsplash, while the spacious formal dining room provides the perfect setting for entertaining. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A large screened porch overlooks the fully fenced backyard and opens to a beautiful paver patio and peaceful koi pond, creating a private retreat for relaxing or entertaining. An irrigation system supplied by a separate well helps maintain the lush landscaping throughout the .32-acre property. The oversized detached two-car garage, complete with a newer roof, offers exceptional storage, workshop, or hobby space rarely found in this location. Additional improvements include plumbing and electrical updates and a new HVAC unit for added peace of mind. Minutes from Historic Downtown Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach, UNCW, local shopping and dining, this is a special opportunity to enjoy the space, character, versatility, and location that make living in this community so sought after.
