Welcome to this magnificent southern charmer surrounded by breath-taking landscaping and nestled in the highly desirable community within the heart of the coastal town of Hampstead. You will be blown away with the craftsmanship and detailed trim work with each step. As you enter the grand foyer, you will immediately notice hand-scraped Mohawk Hartley Hickory floors installed throughout the entire main living area. A large and bright living room welcomes you and feels as though it was made for cozy evenings around a fireplace with a nice glass of wine, reading your favorite author, playing family games, conducting deep conversations or just watching movies. The open concept connects the living room with a dining room and a gourmet kitchen. The kitchen offers 42'' solid wood cabinetry with a soft closing system which provides a wealth of storage space, glistening granite counter tops, a large working island with a stainless-steel farm sink, stainless-steel appliances, a gas cooktop with a hood and a pantry cabinet. This kitchen will please every chef and make any cooking experience much more enjoyable. The private Master Suite features a tray ceiling, a double vanity with additional storage, an oversized custom-tiled walk-in shower and multiple shower heads, a self-standing tub, a linen closet and two walk-in closets. The two spare bedrooms share a full bathroom. A laundry room with shelves and a folding table, a coat closet and a mudroom with a built-in hall coat tree complete the main floor. Upstairs you can explore a bonus room which can be used as a family entertainment room or a Man Cave. Just let your imagination run wild. Enjoy your afternoon cup of tea on your almost 350 sq.ft. screened-in patio while overlooking your fenced backyard and watching wildlife passing by - an abundance of birds, butterflies, owls, turtles, bunnies and opossums. The home also features a tankless water heater. Looking for more fun and activities? Enjoy the community pool or take a short drive to the fabulous Kiwanis park. This property is Southern Living at its finest! The absolutely amazing location of this property is another attractive feature to consider. Situated near the sparkling Intracoastal Waterway with a public ramp, highly rated schools, shopping, restaurants, many golf courses, Topsail Island and Wrightsville beaches, and the city of Wilmington with a world class university, an international airport, a tremendously growing network of businesses, and a historic river district.
