Description
RARE FIND IN AN OUTSTANDING LOCATION! Welcome to 2235 Jamaica Drive, a custom-built 3,500sf, 5-bedroom, 3 full bathroom home located in the heart of North Wilmington. Nestled on a gorgeous premium lot that backs to Naaman’s Creek and offers park-like views from most rooms, this property presents an exceptional opportunity for those looking to invest in a home with immense potential. Upon arrival, you and your guests will be greeted by stunning curb appeal and an expansive driveway large enough for 6+ cars that affords a unique amount of privacy. The wide and bright foyer welcomes you to the main level that features a spacious den, a bright and airy bedroom and a convenient full bathroom providing a cozy space for guests or in-laws. The 2-car garage is adjacent to the den and offers access to a private office creating an ideal space to work from home or set up a workshop. A few steps up from the den takes you to the eat-in kitchen, formal dining room, and spacious living room which are all filled with natural light from the picture windows that offer stunning views of the expansive, tranquil yards and babbling creek. The upper level features a generous primary bedroom with a private bathroom, a large cedar closet, and 3 additional, spacious bedrooms with ample closet space that share a 3rd full bathroom. The walk-out, finished basement boasts a huge recreation room with an expansive wet bar providing the perfect place to entertain friends/family, host a game night, or cozy up for movie night next to the fireplace. The basement also has a separate laundry room and plenty storage space. Outside the recreation room, you will find the lower-level patio that overlooks the expansive backyard and provides a great space to host a large gathering or a quiet place to relax and enjoy the serenity of this exceptional lot from the sitting area, with a built in firepit, overlooking the stream. This property also includes a separate Guest House which is currently rented for $800/month on a month-to-month lease, which potentially can continue to generate income or be used as an in-law suite. While this home can use some updates, the size and layout provide ample room for customization, allowing you to transform this house into your dream home. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to invest in a property with endless potential in a prime location!

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.
