Our take on 222 Evans Street
Written by the Buddy Blake Team from the listing photos and MLS data. Not part of the MLS listing or the listing broker's description.
This single-story property in Wilmington was built in 1937 and offers 1,183 square feet across three bedrooms and one bathroom. The interior includes ceiling fans, and the flooring is a mix of vinyl and wood. Heating and cooling are electric, and the property is connected to public utilities.
The lot is very small, at about one one-hundredth of an acre, and the property sits within the Ridgecrest community. Parking is on the street or on an unpaved area. No water features, views, pool, or community amenities are listed for the property, so its setting is best understood from its compact footprint and its location in Wilmington.
