BEST DEAL ON A PROPERTY WITH SEVERAL ACRES
506 Tory Trail , Currie, NC 28435
Let’s get the bad news out of the way first. This property flooded during Hurricane Matthew. The owners raised the home by six blocks, but it flooded again the following year during Hurricane Florence. Buyers should rightly be concerned, but this home still makes our list because the sellers are offering to pay two years of flood insurance. Now… on to the good news. Just 30 minutes outside downtown Wilmington is this 10 acre sanctuary. Seclusion and privacy awaits you in this log cabin. It features three large bedrooms with a first floor master en suite and a large loft space that could function as a bonus space, play room, or office. The living room features cathedral ceilings and a stone fireplace. Luxury-vinyl plank flooring has been installed throughout the downstairs. New appliances, new cabinets in the kitchen and bathrooms, new lighting, granite countertops, and a new hot water tank are some of the recent upgrades.
