INVESTOR ALERT! Rare opportunity to complete the renovation of a solid brick ranch home in Wilmington. Offering approximately 1,200 square feet of living space, this property is notably larger than many of the surrounding homes and provides an excellent opportunity for an investor, builder, or experienced rehabber. All demolition and removal work has already been completed, providing a clean slate for the next phase of the project. Originally configured as a 4-bedroom, 1-bath home, the property has been reframed to create a more functional 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath layout. Much of the electrical work has already been completed, and plumbing rough-ins are in place, helping to move the renovation substantially forward. The home sits on a slab and offers solid brick construction, providing a strong foundation for the finished product. Bring your vision, construction experience, and finishing plan to transform this property into a desirable renovated home or investment opportunity. Estimated ARV 285K-310K. Cash buyers only. Property is being sold as-is. Buyer is responsible for completing all remaining renovations, obtaining any required permits and approvals, and verifying all property information.
