Welcome to this enchanted cottage (permitted for 3 BEDROOMS) tucked in a cul-de-sac on a charming peninsula with over 230 feet of Virginia Creek frontage, providing stunning natural views and serene surroundings. The home was custom built and handcrafted in 1987 by local Hampstead artisan Emmett Sniff, known for his distinctive concrete work and coquina-stucco craftsmanship with timeless coastal appeal. The property still features several of his signature sculptures and design details which are now part of Hampstead's local artistic heritage. As you enter, you will immediately notice brand-new LVP flooring. A bright and large sunken living room with a shiplap accent wall and built-ins welcomes you and feels as though it was made for cozy evenings around a fireplace with a nice glass of wine, reading your favorite author, playing family games, conducting deep conversations or just watching movies. The brand-new sliding doors were installed to enhance natural light. The living room connects with the dining room and kitchen. The freshly remodeled kitchen offers cabinets with ample storage space and new stainless-steel appliances and a farm sink. Right off the kitchen you can explore a very large laundry room with shelving and storage cabinets. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms are situated on the opposite side of the home.
