A standout midcentury home in one of Wilmington's most desirable neighborhoods!
5010 College Acres isn't your average 1960s ranch—it's a fully reimagined, high-style retreat tucked just minutes from UNC-Wilmington and a mere 5 miles to Wrightsville Beach.
* No HOA and a private, nearly half-acre lot!
* NEW ROOF, new gutters, and Ring security features (doorbell and backyard spotlight cam).
* The curb appeal sets the tone: a custom plank garage door, limewashed brick, stained, solid-wood entry door and cedar-wrapped posts, fresh landscaping with new sod and shrubs.
* Fully renovated kitchen with warm brass finishes, stone counters, tile backsplash, and all new, stainless steel appliances.
* Refreshed bathrooms blend original midcentury tile with updated fixtures and thoughtful styling.
* The sunken den delivers the vibe—exposed beams, built-ins, and midcentury warmth meet relaxed Southern style.
* Screen porch overlooking the large private backyard is perfect for morning meditations or lazy afternoons. Complete with wifi enabled fan for hot days.
* Refinished hardwood floors, door hardware replaced, paint, and designer lighting throughout!
*Listing agent is owner and NC licensed broker*
