Description

Now Priced $70K BELOW TAX VALUE!! Adorable circa 1912 cottage tucked under the protective canopy of a 100 year old live oak tree, yet perched high enough to feel like a tree house! This house was gutted to the studs and completely restored in 2006 by Wilmington's own, Steve Bakunas and his partner, the talented late actor, Linda Lavin. Zoning is the attractive UMX, Urban Mixed Use, which would allow for many potential live/work options (see documents). House has recent HVAC (2023) and hot water heater (2024) stove is gas, fully fenced back yard, and a strong rental history. Located near the vibrant South Front- Greenfield Lake attractions. Off street parking with alley access complete this downtown unicorn. Oh, and it's being sold partially furnished . Broker is owner. Seller will consider owner financing with acceptable terms.
