This is a rare chance for the investor, flipper, or vision-driven homeowner looking for their next value-add project in a sought-after location. Offering 5 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, this home boasts a generous footprint that's ideal for reimagining layouts, modernizing finishes, or executing a full renovation to maximize resale or rental potential.

Set on a creekside lot, the property enjoys a peaceful, natural backdrop that's increasingly hard to find. Whether you envision outdoor living spaces, a dock, or simply capitalizing on the water-adjacent setting, Barnards Creek adds a unique lifestyle and resale appeal.

Echo Farms is known for its mature landscaping, convenient access to shopping, dining, golf, and major roadways, and proximity to Wilmington's historic downtown and beaches. This is truly a diamond in the rough—priced and positioned for those who recognize opportunity. With the right updates, this home has the potential to shine as a high-end resale, long-term rental, or personalized dream home in one of Wilmington's most desirable areas. Bring your contractor, your creativity, and your vision. Opportunities like this—large square footage, creekfront setting, no HOA, and prime location—don't come along often. Sold as-is. Serious potential for serious returns.
