1001 Dan Owen Drive, Hampstead

Less mowing. More living. Whether your weekends involve a boat ramp, the beach, or absolutely nothing at all, this Hampstead home gives you more time to enjoy them. Built in 2022, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home was designed for real life. The open floor plan keeps everyone connected, while the upstairs bonus room gives you the flexibility every home seems to need these days. Home office? Movie room? Guest space? Hobby room? You don't have to decide today. The kitchen is the kind you'll actually use, with granite countertops, a large island that naturally becomes the gathering spot, stainless appliances, white cabinetry, and plenty of room to cook without missing the conversation. The primary suite is tucked away for a little extra privacy and features a walk-in closet, double vanity, and even a built-in pet door--because your furry best friend doesn't care what time it is when nature calls. Out back, you'll find a covered porch and extended patio that's just waiting for a grill, a couple of Adirondack chairs, and someone to declare they're ''just going to sit outside for a minute.'' We all know how that ends. Here's another thing you'll appreciate: boat and RV parking are allowed, and the extra-wide driveway gives you room to actually keep them at home instead of paying someone else to store them. Smart-home features--including a Wi-Fi thermostat, keyless entry, USB charging outlets, and LED lighting--make everyday living just a little easier, while county water and sewer keep maintenance simple. Located just minutes from Wilmington, Topsail Island, and Camp Lejeune, this home puts you close to work, the beach, shopping, and restaurants without paying waterfront prices. To make the move even easier, the seller is including a termite bond, a 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty, and $3,500 toward your closing costs with an acceptable offer. Because buying a home should be exciting--not a weekend project.
