Under Contract: 132 Chadwick Avenue in Wilmington, NC

132 Chadwick Avenue is under contract. This one is a brick ranch in the Chadwick Acres neighborhood, and I want to tell you a little about it, because it's the kind of home Wilmington doesn't make much of anymore.

What Made This Home Special

It's a single-story, 2,379 square foot house built in 1958, with oak and pine hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace with built-in bookshelves, and a formal dining room for entertaining. Three bedrooms plus a bonus room with its own heat and air, so it can be a fourth bedroom, an office, or whatever a buyer needs. Master downstairs. A mud room off the kitchen. Painted cabinetry and a stainless double wall oven in the kitchen.

Outside is where this lot really stands out. It's a corner lot, fully fenced, with a covered back porch and a storage shed. There's a private well and septic, so no monthly city water bill. Recent updates include a new roof in 2018 and new Andersen windows, and the crawlspace has been sealed. No HOA and no rental restrictions, which matters to a lot of buyers looking for flexibility.

The Chadwick Acres Setting

Chadwick Acres sits minutes from downtown Wilmington, the beaches, shopping and dining. It's an established neighborhood, the kind with mature trees and room to spread out on a lot like this one, which is oversized and level.

A Word of Thanks

Getting a home from under contract to closed takes a lot of coordination behind the scenes — lenders, attorneys, inspections, paperwork that has to line up just right. Erin keeps all of that on track for our team, and I'm grateful for her every time. It's the kind of work that doesn't show up in a listing photo but makes all the difference for a smooth closing.
