Just Listed: 201 Southwold Drive, Waterford Place, Wilmington

We just put 201 Southwold Drive on the market, and Kyle Myers has been working this one with me from the start. It's a solid little ranch on a quarter-acre corner lot in Waterford Place, priced at $310,000, and it checks a lot of boxes for a first home, a downsize, or a rental.

What You Get at 201 Southwold Drive

This is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with 1,099 heated square feet, built in 1977. It sits on a .24-acre corner lot with no HOA, which matters more to buyers these days than it used to. Inside, the living room opens into an eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances, plenty of counter space, and a tile backsplash. All three bedrooms have fresh carpet and paint, so it's ready to move into without a punch list.

Outside, the backyard is fully fenced with a large side gate for easy access, and there's a good-sized shed with power out back — room for a workshop, storage, or a hobby space. You've also got off-street parking, a patio, storm doors, ceiling fans, blinds and shades throughout, and a walk-in shower. The corner lot gives it a little extra breathing room compared to a typical interior lot.

The Waterford Place / Myrtle Grove Location

This home sits in Waterford Place, in the Myrtle Grove area of Wilmington. You're just minutes from the new Target and a good stretch of local restaurants, with easy access to Carolina Beach and downtown Wilmington whenever you want the beach or the river. Water lovers will like this detail too — there's a public water access point about 5 minutes away with a boat ramp and kayak launch on the Intracoastal Waterway.

With no HOA, a functional layout, and that shed for extra storage or workshop space, this one also has real potential as a rental in a corridor that keeps drawing steady interest from both buyers and renters. If you're weighing that path, our earlier post on primary, weekend, or rental homes near Carolina Beach walks through some of that thinking. For buyers who like a one-level layout, our guide to one-story homes on the southeastern NC coast is worth a look too.
