41 Brenda Lee Drive, Hampstead

This beautiful Windgate home is less than a mile from the Hampstead Public Boating Access and Sloop Point Marina and has no HOA restrictions, so you can conveniently park your boat at home. An extended parking pad and double fence gate provide easy vehicle access to the back yard. Hardie Plank siding and an arched walkway lead to a back yard designed for relaxation, featuring Knock Out(r) Roses, a full irrigation system, a custom-built brick fire pit with seating, and a beautiful and slip-resistant aggregate patio. A 1/4-acre dog run and a matching 10'x16' shed on a brick foundation add extra functionality. Inside, real hardwood floors span the main living areas and bedrooms. Vaulted ceilings open up the living and dining spaces, and a large arched window fills the dining room with natural light. The open-concept kitchen includes granite countertops, a tile backsplash, cabinet pull-outs, and a custom pantry. The airy first-floor primary suite offers a walk-in closet, a walk-in tile shower, and a separate vanity area. Solid wood stairs with a carpet runner lead to 2 guest bedrooms, a full bathroom, a sitting room, and a huge bonus room upstairs -- perfect for a media room, play space, or hobby room. The home is equipped with a whole-house Generac generator and built-in storage in the garage. Practical upgrades also include a fully encapsulated crawlspace (2015), Hardie Plank siding, roof, wood floors, carpet, and well (2018), a new pressure tank (2022), and a Leaf Whole-Home Water Filtration System (2023). Located less than 6 miles from shopping and dining, under 10 miles from Surf City beaches, and just minutes from local schools.
