Property Description
Situated on a spacious .32-acre lot, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home features 1,704 square feet of living space and an inviting open floor plan that seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas. Beyond the heated living space, enjoy approximately 301 additional square feet in the enclosed rear sunroom and separate laundry and storage room. The versatile layout provides flexibility for a home office, den, or additional bedroom. A fireplace with remote-controlled gas logs creates a cozy focal point, while the distinctive brick veneer and red cedar exterior add warmth and architectural interest.
Both bathrooms were completely renovated in 2024 with beautiful, high-end finishes. Additional improvements include a newly encapsulated crawlspace with a dehumidifier, and a well-fed irrigation system with a new pump installed in 2026.
The expansive outdoor patio, with access through the kitchen and the back porch, provides a wonderful setting for entertaining or simply enjoying the mature landscape and peaceful surroundings. The fenced-in backyard also backs up to a public alley, offering additional access and convenience.
Ideally located approximately 10 minutes from historic Downtown Wilmington and 20 minutes from Wrightsville Beach, this home combines the character of an established Wilmington neighborhood with the convenience of a central location. With its distinctive mid-century modern design, thoughtful improvements, generous lot, and flexible living spaces, 1206 Essex Drive is a special place to call home.
