Welcome to Real Stories with Buddy Blake. Today's episode features real estate insights from Buddy Blake. Let's dive in. All right.
So today on Real Stories, we're talking about a brand new listing, 201 Southwold Drive out in Waterford Place. Buddy, welcome back. Hey, good to be here.
Yeah, this one's kind of a fun one. Kyle Myers has been working it with me from the jump, and it's just a solid little house, you know? Okay, so give me the basics first.
What are we looking at? So it's a three-bedroom, two-bath ranch, 1,100 square feet roughly, sitting on a quarter-acre corner lot, built in 1977, priced at $310,000, and it's in Waterford Place, which is in the Myrtle Grove area.
A corner lot too, right? Does that actually make a difference for buyers, or is that just a detail? It really does. Corner lots just give you more breathing room than a typical interior lot.
And this one's a quarter-acre, so it's not tiny either, plus no HOA. And honestly, that matters a lot more to buyers now than it used to. Yeah, I feel like I hear that a lot these days. So what's the inside like?
Is it move-in ready, or does it need work? It's ready. That's the thing I like about it. The living room opens into an eat-in kitchen, stainless steel appliances, good counter space, tile backsplash.
And all three bedrooms have fresh carpet and fresh paint, so there's no punch list you got to tackle before you move in. I love hearing that, because so many people don't want a project, they just want to move their stuff in.
Exactly. And it's got the little things too, storm doors, ceiling fans, blinds and shades already up, walk-in shower, just stuff that makes life easier day-to-day. Okay, let's talk outside.
I heard something about a shed with power? Yeah, that's a nice feature. Backyard's fully fenced, got a large side gate so you can get equipment or a mower back there easy.
And then there's a good-sized shed with power out back. Could be a workshop, storage, hobby space, whatever you need it for. That's a good bonus. So where exactly does this sit in Wilmington?
You said Waterford Place, Myrtle Grove. Right, Myrtle Grove area. You're just minutes from the new Target. Got a good stretch of local restaurants nearby too.
And then Carolina Beach and downtown Wilmington are both an easy drive whenever you want the beach or you want to be downtown by the river. Oh, and didn't you mention something about water access nearby? Like for boats or kayaks?
That's a cool one. There's a public water access point about five minutes away. It's got a boat ramp and a kayak launch right on the intercoastal waterway. So if you're into that kind of thing, that's a nice perk to have that close.
That's great for anyone who likes to get out on the water on the weekends. Now, you mentioned rental potential earlier. Is that something people ask about with this one? They do, and it makes sense.
No HOA, functional layout, that shed for extra storage. This corridor keeps drawing steady interest from buyers and renters both. So if somebody's weighing a rental play, we've actually got an earlier post that walks through primary, weekend, or rental home thinking near Carolina Beach.
Worth a look if that's the direction you're leaning. And I bet some folks like the idea of everything being on one level too. Yeah, for sure. We've got a guide on one-story homes across the southeastern coast here too.
So if that layout matters to you, that's a good resource. Now, if somebody wants to zoom out and see what's happening in that whole zip code, is there a way to do that? There is.
We've got a 28409 market insights page with the numbers on what's going on in that area. And if you just want to browse broadly, you can look at every home for sale in Wilmington right now too. This has been great, buddy.
