A Rare Coastal Haven in Hampstead – Having lived in the Hampstead area for over 26 years and sold real estate for the past 10, I can confidently say this is one of my all-time favorite homes. It embodies the very best of true coastal living—where nature, comfort, and craftsmanship converge. Perched gracefully on 1.95 waterfront acres, this property offers direct boat access, a private pier with gazebo, and boat parking. Whether you’re savoring the breeze from the quintessential screened-in porch, relaxing in one of the many outdoor living areas, or swimming in Hampstead’s premier pool, a 60-foot lap lane with a centrally positioned hot tub and serene water views—you’ll feel the essence of Eastern North Carolina’s coastal beauty at every turn. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood featuring a private boat ramp, yet just a short walk from Kiwanis Park and North Topsail Elementary School, this location offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience.
