The open-concept layout features quartz kitchen countertops, tiled backsplash, stainless steel appliances, crown moldings, wainscoting, 9-foot ceilings and durable LVP flooring, with carpet in the bonus room and one guest room only. The split-bedroom design provides privacy, while the spacious primary suite includes a tray ceiling, tiled bath, quartz vanities and a large walk-in closet. Additional highlights include a bonus room, actual laundry room, oversized two-car garage and a nearly half-acre level lot offering space to enjoy both indoors and out.

  • Patnystrom
    "Living in Hampstead feels like living in a small friendly town of 60 years ago; people wave and speak, even to strangers, and help each other in times of need. The weather is influenced by the Gulf Stream, so it's always cooler (or warmer) than in nearby inland communities. While it is quiet here, there is plenty to do, especially if you like water activities, and both Wilmington and Raleigh have a lot to offer in terms of culture, concerts, and night life."
