Some homes offer a view of the water. 667 Hughes Road offers a life built around it. Set on more than an acre with water embracing two sides of the property, this beautifully renovated Hampstead retreat delivers a rare combination of privacy, space, recreation, and effortless coastal living. From the moment you arrive, the setting feels distinctly removed from the everyday. Mature surroundings and expansive grounds give way to a thoughtfully renovated home designed to complement its waterfront backdrop. Inside, refined updates create a fresh, elevated atmosphere while generous living spaces make the home equally suited for quiet mornings, memorable gatherings, and weekends spent with family and friends. Outside, the water becomes part of daily life--an ever-changing backdrop for morning coffee, sunset evenings, fishing, boating, and simply enjoying the unmistakable pace of life along the Carolina coast. The experience extends well beyond the main residence. A substantial detached garage provides exceptional storage and workspace along with dedicated heated and cooled flex space ready to become a private office, fitness studio, game room, creative retreat, or whatever best fits your lifestyle. A private basketball court adds yet another unexpected amenity, while more than an acre provides something increasingly coveted near the coast: room to breathe. For those who want to spend their days on the water, an optional neighborhood HOA provides access to a community boat ramp, making it easy to embrace everything that draws people to coastal North Carolina in the first place. And while the property feels wonderfully tucked away, the best of the region remains within easy reach. Enjoy Hampstead's popular restaurants, marinas, golf, and everyday conveniences nearby; head toward Surf City and Topsail Island when the beach is calling; or make the easy drive into Wilmington for historic downtown, exceptional dining, shopping, entertainment, Wilmington International Airport, and major medical facilities. 667 Hughes Road isn't simply a renovated waterfront home--it is the kind of property that is becoming increasingly difficult to replicate. Acreage. Water on two sides. Space for your boat, hobbies, guests, and toys. Privacy without isolation. The beach and Wilmington within reach. This is more than a place to live. It's your own corner of the Carolina coast.
