Boater's dream location with NO HOA! Just minutes from Sloop Point Marina, the Sloop Point public boat ramp, and the Intracoastal Waterway -- and with a large level lot, there's plenty of room to park your boat right at home. The property backs up to a beautiful pond, and mature trees give the backyard a private, tucked-away feel. Inside, this 3-bedroom, 2.5 bath home lives bright and easy. The living room welcomes you with a vaulted ceiling, cozy fireplace with shiplap accent wall, and light, coastal-toned LVP flooring that flows through the main living areas. The kitchen is a standout -- stainless steel appliances (just 4 years young), crisp white cabinetry, abundant counter space, and a center island with butcher block top. A formal dining room gives you room to host, and the primary bedroom features its own vaulted ceiling. Out back, the screened porch and open deck are made for morning coffee and evening breezes, overlooking a spacious yard complete with raised garden beds ready for your green thumb. Add in a covered front porch and a large concrete driveway with plenty of parking, and this home checks all the boxes! Just up the road, the newly expanded 53-acre Hampstead Kiwanis Park offers a walking trail, playgrounds, pickleball and tennis courts, and lighted athletic fields. With Topsail Island beaches, Hampstead golf courses, shopping, and dining all a short drive away -- and an easy commute to both Wilmington and Jacksonville -- this location truly delivers the coastal lifestyle. Bring the boat, skip the HOA, and schedule your showing today!
