Welcome to this enchanting cottage situated on a half-acre lot in the coastal village of Hampstead, just minutes away from ICW and with no HOA. A large setback with immaculately maintained landscaping even further highlights the aesthetic appeal. You will be blown away with custom touches with every step. As you enter a spacious foyer, you will immediately notice beautiful craftsmanship which carries throughout the entire home. A large and bright living room with a stunning coffered ceiling welcomes you and feels as though it was made for a friendly gathering and cozy evenings with a nice glass of wine around the fireplace, reading your favorite author, playing family games, conducting deep conversations or just watching movies. The open concept connects the living room with the dining room and the kitchen. The breathtaking gourmet kitchen offers stainless-steel appliances, glistening countertops, custom cabinets with ample storage and a soft closing system, a working island, and a pantry which will please every chef. The private Master Suite offers a tray ceiling, a walk-in closet, a double vanity, and a custom walk-in tiled shower. A laundry room is conveniently located on the main level. Upstairs you can explore two spare bedrooms with dormers, two linen closets, a full bathroom and a bonus room. The spacious bonus room can be used as a movie and entertainment room, a man cave or let your imagination run wild. Enjoy your Southern tea on your screened deck while overlooking your backyard, take a dip in your own private pool, invite friends over to roast some marshmallows in your full-brick 12' tall fireplace, get crazy with your gardening skills, do some handy work in your garage with tons of storage cabinets and work benches or join the Olde Point Country Club for their amenities. This property is Southern Country Living at its finest! The absolutely amazing location of this property is another attractive feature to consider - a short commute to fabulous Kiwanis Park, highly rated schools, shopping, restaurants, many golf courses, ICW access, Topsail Island and Wrightsville beaches, and the city of Wilmington with a world class university, a tremendously growing network of businesses, and a historic river district.
