About 505 W 38th St
Multiple offers. Highest and best due tonight 6pm and seller will make a decision this evening. This property is an absolute gem; a wonderful example of the beautiful early-midcentury homes in the Ninth Ward area of Wilmington. This END UNIT twin home sits on a quiet residential block conveniently located to Miller Rd, shops, Concord Pike, and easy access to 95. You have a lovely screened-in porch to enter through; and you're greeted by gorgeous, shining hardwoods, a spacious living - to - dining area and a charming retro kitchen. Upstairs, this home features well sized bedrooms, a full bathroom upstairs that is sure to generate some strong opinions but must be seen in person to be truly appreciated! It's like walking into a time capsule in the best possible way. The floor is like the tail of a mermaid. In the basement you'll find an additional finished living space (playroom? Man cave?) and a back exit to your OFF STREET PARKING spot. This home has been lived in and lovingly cared for by an owner occupant for twenty years, and it shows in the best possible way. Clean, well maintained and only awaiting some cosmetic touches for you to add some equity, and a personal touch on your new home.
