About This Home
Broker Owner. New three-bedroom septic tank to be installed at the cost of the owner, will change listing from a two bedroom to a three bedroom once the county inspects and approves. This beautifully renovated home sits in one of Hampstead's most desirable locations and offers a perfect blend of modern updates and timeless charm. The large kitchen island provides exceptional storage with drawers on one side and cabinets on the other, complementing the open-concept kitchen and living area designed for comfort and connection. Renovations began in September 2020 and included a new roof, new HVAC unit, new flooring, all new light fixtures, fully updated bathrooms, and a completely redesigned kitchen with new cabinetry, countertops, and appliances. The electrical system was replaced throughout the home, including a new panel, and most plumbing pipes were updated as well. The owner has enjoyed this property both as a primary residence and as an investment, collecting nearly $19,000 in gross rental revenue over just five and a half months in 2022. The lot is truly unique, featuring three mature oak trees that create a natural canopy and provide welcome shade during the summer months. Inside, the home offers three bedrooms, with the two guest rooms sharing a Jack-and-Jill bath, plus a small flex space ideal for an office, playroom, or extra storage. Conveniently close to the public boat ramp, restaurants, shopping, the new park, beach volleyball courts, and the community center.
