Hampstead - Beach Property For Sale #5420767

Absolutely no expense was spared on the creation of this entirely custom-built, labor of love. (600+ bonus sq ft not counted in the total!) The owner is the Architect, Engineer, and General Contractor, and has provided all of the original plans. This was not built by a profit-driven builder. Quality was job #1. One of the homes specific design intentions was to withstand a CAT 5 Hurricane, using the highest-grade materials. From the sealed, insulated and air-controlled crawl space, to the 50-year architectural shingles and spray-in, fortifying roof insulation in the attic, the thoughtfulness and ingenuity throughout this house is beyond compare. 2 separate AC units, both of which are also DUAL source, (powered by electric or gas, which they automatically switch to below certain temps), allow for programmable zone control throughout 3-zone home.

The kitchen features 32 feet of Granite countertops, a gas stovetop and range, an electric/convection oven, and a built-in microwave. The dishwasher, the full-size Sub-Zero refrigerator, as well as a small bar mini fridge, are all paneled to match the beautiful cabinetry. The formal dining room features hardwood floors with tile inlay, and the pantry, laundry room and half bathrooms are all tile flooring as well. The living room features 2 large windows with built in blinds between the panes, 2 of the 35 Pella Windows throughout the home, a fireplace that can also help heat the game room behind it, and conduit in the wall to hide any cables from TV accessories. Both full bathrooms feature fully tiled showers with no glass doors to clean, tile floors to match, and the guest bath has a jacuzzi tub as well as dual sinks and a beautiful stained-glass window. The expansive game room with rear office features enough room for a pool table, shuffleboard, ping pong table, slot machines, dart boards and more! Now, for the king of all man-caves and the backyard! Did I say man cave? This is more like a man-CASTLE!

To the right of the steps from the office, down into this stunning, 6* thick-walled massive garage space, was formerly a full machine shop/workshop, complete with Milling machine, lathes and drill presses and band saws. Now ready for you to create your own perfect workspace! The AC ducts are capped right above this space, so the ability to finish it and add to the connected square footage of the home is easy to complete the heating and cooling, should you so desire.
In front of that is a Boat or RV garage space long enough to accommodate a 34' Full size Motorhome with the slides out, complete with FULL HOOKUPS, water, electricity and septic dump station. The door to this space is 18' tall so big toys can fit in here easily.
Beyond the RV garage is a space with 9' garage doors on each end, that is long enough to accommodate another 3 vehicles or boats. Or to convert to additional living space? The potential and possibilities are many.
To the left of the RV space is a garden shed that leads into a Tiki Bar that is complete with interior thatched roofing, ceiling fans and screened in area for guests, walking thru the door to behind the bar you will find a climate-controlled area complete with sink, cabinets, a half bath, space for an indoor table and chairs, and electric, retractable walls to close off the interior of the bar from the elements! This is a must-see feature!
The staircase behind the RV space to the right of the garden shed leads upstairs to a 2nd floor space that can be used as a workshop or as an additional room for the 3rd floor space once completed.
Continuing up the stairs to the 3rd floor crow's nest/MIL suite, you will find a small, finished room with a door to a larger unfinished room that is big enough to create a studio, or guest quarters, or whatever possibilities you can imagine. The septic plumbing directly below in the RV or half bath areas will make connecting and roughing in the plumbing and utilities a breeze. Owner does have diagram and plans for finishing the room if desired.
Currently there is a portable AC unit hooked up that can cool all 3 floor spaces that are finished with a manual switch, but they have a quote for a mini split installation.
The backyard oasis was designed for an inground swimming pool, should you wish to add one, and the high quality, low maintenance PVC decking, aluminum top rails and patio concrete are all in great condition.
All this and we haven't even gotten to the location!
Surrounded by the Ironclad Golf Course and a short walk to the Harbor Village marina, (which you have the option to purchase a boat slip in), this property is one of the best neighborhoods around for your daily walks, with views of the waterway, lakes, the marina and golf course along the way. Situated near restaurants, grocery stores and in the highly coveted Topsail school district, with low HOA dues and a short drive from Topsail Island or Wilmington, this palatial home truly has it all, and then some!
