## Description

### Agent Description
Welcome to Hedgeville, located on the Southwest side of the City of Wilmington! A community brimming with charm and character from a bygone era! Conveniently located within moments to places of worship, educational facilities, interstate highways, the Central Business District, and a hop skip and jump to the attractions on the Riverfront! This quaint, brick row home is ready for its new custodian. Formal living space as you enter leads to traditional dining room, or you could flip the two and have the dining room first and living room second depending on your lifestyle needs. Kitchen is located on the rear of the main level and is graced with tile flooring, a light gray shaker style cabinet topped with a custom fitted counter, a double sink with upgraded faucet and soap dispenser. Gas cooking rounds out the function and rear door leads to fenced in yard with mature landscaping providing a dearth of shade to relax under after a hard day's grind. Lower level is host to laundry with new washer and dryer as well as ample storage space. Plush carpeting softens your steps as you make your way to the second level. Two well scaled sleeping chambers with thoughtful storage elements to retire and re-energize for the next day. Full bathroom services this level with upgraded tile flooring, fresh vanity, toilet, and is flanked by classic wall tile. Claw foot soaking tub to pamper yourself complete with shower fixtures is classic yet functional. Gas forced air furnace and hot water, upgraded electric and windows mean years of minimal maintenance expenditures and efficient operation. Excellent opportunity for First Time Home Buyer seeking an affordable dwelling, an investor looking to add to a performing income stream or start one from scratch. Take advantage of a softening interest rate environment and make the transition to home ownership a reality!
