Set on an expansive .92-acre homesite in The Sanctuary at Forest Sound, this beautifully crafted home by American Homesmith blends timeless design with modern comfort in one of Hampstead's most desirable locations. A welcoming covered front porch creates the perfect outdoor living space and sets the tone for this elegant 2-story, 5-bedroom, 4-bath residence, highlighted by stone accents and a metal roof over the garage entry. Inside, the open-concept layout is designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, featuring a formal dining room and a spacious kitchen that flows seamlessly into the family room and breakfast area. The chef's kitchen is a standout with white cabinetry, a large center island with farmhouse sink, Whistler quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, and stainless appliances, including a natural gas cooktop, hood vent, wall oven, and microwave. The light-filled family room showcases a shiplap fireplace with natural gas logs and opens to a covered porch for year-round enjoyment. The first floor also offers a guest suite and mudroom, while upstairs features a luxurious primary suite with trey ceiling, dual vanities, walk-in shower, and custom closet, plus two additional bedrooms, a full bath, a large rec room (or optional fifth bedroom with bath), and a convenient laundry room. Additional highlights include LVP flooring on the main living areas, tankless gas water heater, irrigated yard (irrigation currently not operational), and gutters front and back plus a screened in porch overlooking the spacious backyard. Ideally located just 15 minutes to Wilmington or Surf City/Topsail and only 1 mile from the Intracoastal Waterway, this home offers the perfect blend of space, style, and coastal convenience, all within a natural gas community.
