About this home
Nestled in the prestigious Castle Bay golf community of Hampstead, this impeccably maintained 4-bedroom, 3-bath brick home offers timeless curb appeal and a thoughtfully designed floor plan. Step inside the welcoming foyer, which opens seamlessly into an expansive open-concept living area. The formal dining room flows into a stunning vaulted family room anchored by a cozy fireplace—an ideal space for gathering and relaxation. The spacious kitchen is both functional and inviting, featuring ample cabinetry and an easy connection to a casual dining area, perfect for everyday meals and entertaining. A separate laundry room and generous pantry add convenience and storage.
Off the main living area, a charming screened porch and a sunroom overlook serene, community-owned land with the fourth hole fairway providing a picturesque backdrop. This peaceful setting offers tranquil views and year-round enjoyment, while the fenced backyard provides privacy and space for pets, play, or outdoor entertaining. The main-level primary suite is generously sized and includes dual vanities, a private water closet, soaking tub, and separate shower. Two additional first-floor bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, a home office, or hobbies. Upstairs, a finished bonus room with a full bath adds versatility as a guest suite, media room, playroom, or private retreat.
Recent updates include a brand-new HVAC system (April 2025), roof replacement (late 2018), and a whole-house water softener (2017). Gutters surround the home, and the upgraded kitchen refrigerator conveys.
Optional Castle Bay memberships are available, offering golf-only privileges or full amenities such as a swimming pool, fitness room, and tennis and pickleball courts. With convenient access to the future Hampstead bypass, this home is ideally located near Wilmington and Topsail Beach, a premier seaside destination. Make this home yours and start enjoying the best of coastal living today!
