Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in The Heritage community, this home offers nearly half an acre, deeded water access, and the kind of character that's hard to find. From the oyster shell accents embedded in the concrete to the inviting rocking chair front porch, every detail gives this home unmistakable coastal character. Inside, the living space is open and airy. The spacious living room is centered around a gas log fireplace and flows into the kitchen, where you'll find a large island with raised bar seating, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a subway tile backsplash, and plenty of cabinet space. Just beyond the dining area, the bright sunroom offers the perfect spot for morning coffee or snuggling up with a book. A conveniently located half bath completes the main living area. The first-floor primary suite features tray ceilings, a generous walk-in closet, and an ensuite bath with a walk-in shower. Upstairs, you'll find an impressive second primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a huge ensuite bathroom complete with a tiled walk-in shower, soaking tub, dual vanities, and an oversized walk-in closet. An adjoining flex room makes the perfect home office, nursery, workout room, or private sitting area. Two additional spacious bedrooms, including a large bonus room that easily functions as a fourth bedroom, plus the upstairs laundry room provide a layout that adapts to a variety of needs. Step outside and discover a backyard that is sure to impress. The expansive patio overlooks a fully fenced yard filled with mature shade trees, blooming hydrangeas, and endless opportunities for gardening. Whether you're planting vegetables, creating flower beds, or simply enjoying the yard, this outdoor space is every gardener's dream. Located in a small community of just 12 homes on the south side of Hampstead with deeded water access in the Topsail School District.
