Property Description
Rare opportunity to own a highly versatile UMX-zoned property in Wilmington's urban core. Positioned minutes from Downtown Wilmington and the Cargo District. Situated on nearly 0.40 fully fenced acres on a prominent corner lot, 1120 Dawson offers a unique combination of functionality, accessibility and business potential. Originally a church and currently a residential-style structure, the property is versatile to suit a contractor shop, warehouse, studio, workshop, service-based business, creative office, live/work concept, or investment opportunity. Key features include a 13-foot roll-up door, natural gas service, 200-amp electrical service, two full bathrooms, Goodman HVAC units, a 2021 tankless water heater, and an updated roof approximately 5-6 years old. The expansive fenced yard allows ample space for parking, storage, outdoor seating, or future improvements (subject to approvals). Offering a true blank canvas with key infrastructure already in place, this property is perfectly positioned for an investor, entrepreneur, or business owner to bring their vision to life and create something truly unique in one of Wilmington's rapidly growing redevelopment corridors. Some photos have been digitally altered by removing furnishings/items to better showcase the space/layout potential.
