About this home

This beautifully maintained brick ranch sits on an oversized corner lot in Wilmington's sought-after Chadwick Acres neighborhood, with NO HOA and no rental restrictions to hold you back. This move-in ready home offers 2,379 square feet of open living space and gorgeous oak and pine hardwood floors throughout, giving it a warmth and character that's hard to find in newer construction. The heart of the home is a spacious living room centered around a cozy wood-burning fireplace with custom built-in bookshelves, perfect for relaxed evenings in. The open layout flows into a separate formal dining room, ideal for entertaining, and continues into a generous family room with plenty of natural light from oversized windows. The kitchen features painted cabinetry and a stainless steel double wall oven, with a convenient laundry area just off the kitchen for everyday practicality. This single-story ranch home lives large, with three bedrooms plus a flexible bonus room addition with its own heating and air unit and closet -- currently used as a fourth bedroom, and equally well-suited as a home office, playroom, guest suite, or in-law suite. The primary bedroom includes its own private bathroom, and a second full bathroom serves the additional bedrooms, both with solid bones and ready for a buyer's personal touch. Generous closets and single-level living make this home ideal for first-time buyers, growing families, or anyone seeking easy one-story living. Outside, this corner-lot property offers a fully fenced backyard -- spacious, private, and currently home to a small flock of backyard chickens, a rare bonus for hobby farmers, gardeners, or anyone dreaming of a more self-sufficient lifestyle. A covered back porch is the ideal spot for grilling, morning coffee, or evening get-togethers in any weather, and a storage shed adds extra room for tools, lawn equipment, or hobby space. The level, oversized lot leaves room to garden, add a play set, add a pool, or simply enjoy extra outdoor space and privacy that's increasingly rare close to town. Recent updates offer real value and peace of mind, including a new roof in 2018, brand-new energy-efficient Andersen windows, and a crawlspace that's been fully sealed and protected. The home runs on a private well and septic system, meaning no monthly city water bill. The original carport was permitted and converted into finished living space, adding even more usable room than many comparable ranch homes in the area. Located minutes from downtown Wilmington, area beaches, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, this home combines the space and privacy of a corner lot with the charm of an established, no-HOA neighborhood. Whether you're a first-time buyer, growing family, or simply looking for single-level living with room to spread out, this well-maintained brick ranch checks the boxes: hardwood floors, an open layout, a fully fenced yard, a covered porch, a versatile bonus room, and true move-in-ready condition throughout. Homes with this much character, land, and flexibility rarely last long on the Wilmington market.
