Property Description

Investor or Handy Owner-Occupant Alert! Welcome to 209 Lorewood Ave in the well established community of Elmhurst in Wilmington - a 4-bedroom, 2-bath brick Cape Cod offering 2,225 square feet of living space and endless potential. Whether you're looking to renovate for resale, rental income, or personal use, this home is ready for your vision. The main level features an open-concept layout, with the living room flowing seamlessly into the dining room, both filled with natural light. Original hardwood floors run beneath the carpeting, waiting to be restored. The kitchen offers plenty of counter space, a gas stove, and wood cabinetry that could shine again with some TLC. Down the hall, you'll find three well-sized bedrooms with ample closet space and a full hall bath with tile floors, a tile shower, and a tub. The second level has its own exterior entrance and is set up with a living room, kitchen, bedroom, and full bath - presenting excellent duplex potential for an apartment or in-law suite. Additional highlights include a cozy screened front porch, a full basement with laundry and storage, a 2-car detached garage, and a driveway accommodating up to five vehicles. The 0.17-acre fenced lot offers open grassy space and walk-down basement access. Conveniently located near restaurants, shopping, and major highways, this home offers the perfect combination of location and potential. While it requires repairs and updates, its strong bones and flexible layout make it a fantastic opportunity you won't want to miss.
