Property Description
Unlike many nearby listings, this home underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2025, making it exceptionally low maintenance for years to come with many transferable warranties. All major components have already been replaced, including the roof, windows, siding, soffits, HVAC system, ductwork, and water heater, significantly reducing future repair costs and insurance concerns.
Inside, the home feels brand new. The renovation included new interior doors, trim, baseboards, hardware, flooring, lighting, switches, and outlets throughout. The kitchen was fully redesigned with new cabinetry, high end quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and recessed lighting. Both bathrooms have been completely updated with new vanities, toilets, mirrors, tile flooring, and a walk-in shower, offering a clean, modern aesthetic.
The exterior upgrades continue with a new driveway, privacy fence with gate large enough for cars and boats, refreshed landscaping beds, and an upgraded shed with its own HVAC unit, a new roof, and window, providing valuable additional conditioned space for storage, a workshop, or flexible use.
One of the most attractive features of this home is its location outside the city limits, meaning lower property taxes while still being close to everything Wilmington has to offer. With few homes in the area offering this level of replacement and modernization, this property stands out as a smart, low-stress choice for buyers who want the benefits of new construction without the uncertainty or delays.
Move-in ready, low maintenance, lower taxes, and located in one of Wilmington's most desirable pockets—218 Southwold Drive is the complete package
