Welcome to one of Hampstead's most unique rental opportunities, where the backyard steals the show. Backing to mature woods with no rear neighbors and surrounded by palm trees, this fully fenced retreat features an in-ground swimming pool, hot tub, fire pit, an expansive open patio perfect for entertaining, and included outdoor seating--creating a private outdoor oasis that's rarely found in a long-term rental. Inside, you'll find four bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, and a functional floor plan designed for comfortable everyday living. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinet space, a large center island with seating, a stone backsplash, and a breakfast nook overlooking the backyard. The living room is centered around a gas fireplace with custom built-in shelving, while the flexible formal dining room can easily serve as a home office, playroom, homeschool room, or additional living space. Just inside the garage entrance, a built-in drop zone with bench seating and storage hooks helps keep everyday essentials organized. Upstairs, the oversized secondary bedrooms offer exceptional flexibility with plenty of space for full bedroom suites, multiple bunk beds, guest rooms, or study areas. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and a private en-suite bathroom featuring a soaking tub and separate walk-in shower. Located in the highly sought-after Topsail School District, this home offers convenient access to Wilmington, Surf City, the beaches of Topsail Island, nearby public boat ramps and marinas, golf courses, restaurants, shopping, and everyday conveniences. Pets are welcomed, and with no active HOA, you'll enjoy even greater flexibility. The backyard storage shed is reserved for homeowner use and is not included with the tenancy. The outdoor shower is not operational and is not intended for tenant use. As a courtesy, the homeowner may choose to provide professional pool and/or lawn maintenance; if offered, these services are voluntary conveniences and are not contractual lease obligations. Flexible lease terms may be available for qualified applicants, and a lease premium may apply. If you're looking for a home that offers everyday comfort with a backyard designed to make every day feel like a vacation, this Hampstead gem is ready to welcome you home. More photos coming soon!
