Description

This beautiful 3-bedroom brick rancher has fantastic curb appeal! Painted white with black shutters, ferns hang from the covered porch where you can enjoy the swing that overlooks the sweeping front yard and mature landscaping. Rockwood Hills is home to 30 unique and well-maintained homes in a lovely neighborhood setting. Built in 1963 by Fortunato, this home with oversized 2-car garage, has been impeccably maintained with the added bonus of many significant updates in recent years — a new roof in 2024, a new A/C in 2024, a new heater in 2023 and a new hot water heater in 2021. If you have been looking for one level living with copious storage, an efficient and spacious layout, then this house is one you must tour. A favorite feature of the current owners is the huge screened porch that allows for many seasons of comfortable lounging, entertaining and endless backyard-gazing. New Anderson French doors from the dining room to the porch make the flow from indoors to outdoors a breeze! A free-standing wood-burning fireplace joins the living room and dining room, which are just off of the eat-in kitchen. Wishing to relax and unwind more? Just through the primary bedroom, there is a large addition with skylights that contains a hot tub and plenty of space for plants or a massage table; it’s like having your own personal spa! From here, you can step outside onto a deck that offers another way to enjoy the peaceful backyard. An unfinished basement offers clean and dry storage, plus it houses an extra washer and dryer. This is the North Wilmington rancher you have been waiting for!

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
