About this home
Income-producing investment opportunity -- freshly renovated 3-bedroom, 3-full-bath townhouse in the heart of midtown Wilmington, now leased through September 2027. With a private en suite bath for every bedroom, a genuine rarity at this price, this two-story, 1,274-square-foot home lives like a true residence, not a flat apartment box. Tucked minutes from UNCW, a short drive to Wrightsville Beach, and within easy reach of historic downtown Wilmington, and located in one of the area's most sought-after school districts. Just refreshed throughout: new paint, all-new hardware, new kitchen appliances and countertops, and updated LVP flooring. That en suite-for-every-bedroom layout delivers rare flexibility and strong rental appeal, and with a long-term tenant already in place, this one cash-flows from day one -- no lease-up risk, no vacancy gap. Ideal for an investor looking for turnkey income, or a buyer planning ahead for a future move-in once the lease ends. Enjoy assigned parking directly in front of the unit, plus an HOA that handles all exterior maintenance, including the roof, for genuinely low-maintenance ownership. The HVAC is approximately six years old. A rare combination of location, layout, and immediate income. Schedule your showing today.
