Sunny, bright and clean - don't let the age of this one fool you! Well-maintained 3 bed/2 bath home on nearly an acre in Hampstead's Cross Creek subdivision REALLY stands out like new! Cross Creek offers a rural feel, yet is convenient to Wilmington, I-40, beaches, golf, shopping, dining and more! No cookie cutter homes or postage stamp lots here! While the location and HUGE lot may be the initial attraction, this lovely abode has so MANY modern updates throughout: all newer systems, engineered hardwoods, granite countertops, modern cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, upgraded finishes & expansive back deck. Further improvements include a wood privacy fence, Culligan water filtration, interior paint, septic system updates & above-ground pool. With a welcoming front porch and foyer to greet you as you enter, enjoy an open floor plan with an abundance of natural light, vaulted ceiling, peninsula and eat-in kitchen. Two bedrooms share a hall bathroom while the master bedroom sits privately off to itself. The master bath features two walk-in closets, jetted tub, stand alone shower & water closet. The BONUS ROOM is perfect for a guest room, office, playroom or add'l living area. Overlooking the fully fenced back lawn is that great SPACIOUS DECK for outdoor dining and entertaining complete with patio furniture. This .94 acre lot really affords you room to breathe with a quiet spaciousness that is becoming increasingly rare. Enjoy future expansion, extra storage, gardening, play, or simply enjoying the privacy of your very own REAL backyard. The neighborhood even includes a private BOAT LAUNCH (creek to NE Cape Fear River) ideal for a kayak, jet ski or small craft. Offered FULLY-FURNISHED w/ acceptable offer (even washer/dryer, riding & push lawn mowers), & centrally located close to area attractions, this home offers unbeatable VALUE and is pristinely awaiting its next lucky owners. Hopefully you!
