Property Description

Welcome to this historic twin in Wilmington's Cool Spring neighborhood, cherished by the same owner for the past 40 years and thoughtfully refreshed for its next chapter. Offering two bedrooms and two full baths, the home pairs its original character with updates that take the worry out of ownership: a new roof, new sewer line, new flooring throughout the first floor, newer appliances, and fresh paint from top to bottom. A three-season room off the rear of the home overlooks the backyard - a tiered outdoor space with a patio and established garden already in place, ready for morning coffee, container tomatoes, or quiet evenings outdoors. Situated in one of the city's established, walkable neighborhoods close to parks, dining, and commuter routes, this home presents an excellent opportunity as a starter home or a buy-and-hold investment.
