Keep your boat at home, fish from your own dock, and spend more of your day on the water at 1017 Mallard Bay Road in Hampstead, NC. Set on approximately half an acre with deep-water canal frontage on two sides, this updated waterfront home pairs high-end interiors with two separate floating docks and a 12,000-pound boat lift. With the Intracoastal Waterway just around the corner, sunset cruises can be part of your everyday routine.
The upstairs offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms across approximately 1,500 square feet. Vaulted ceilings, high-end granite, custom Markraft cabinetry, and Wolf and Bosch appliances bring quality to the spaces you use most, whether preparing dinner after a day on the boat or hosting friends for the weekend. LVP flooring, substantial 12-inch trim, custom closets, and Venetian blinds create a polished interior with practical storage and easy-care surfaces.
Large covered and uncovered back porches extend the living experience outdoors, with tile flooring and ceiling fans in the covered section and room for dining, gathering, and relaxing beside the water. Enjoy shaded afternoons, open-air evenings, and fishing without leaving your property. Power and water connections at the docks simplify boat preparation and cleanup, while an exterior elevator/lift adds convenience when moving groceries and supplies between levels.
The downstairs area includes a second kitchen, two bathrooms, three additional flex rooms, and its own laundry room, providing supplementary space for work, hobbies, and recreation beyond the upstairs layout. The home is marketed with three bedrooms because of septic-system limitations.
Located in a quiet community with no HOA, this property combines private boating amenities with Hampstead's coastal setting near Topsail Island and close to Wilmington, NC. Water frontage on two sides, private boating amenities, and thoughtfully updated interiors make this home stand out among Hampstead, NC homes for sale. Offered at $1,399,000, it provides a compelling option in coastal North Carolina real estate for a primary residence or coastal retreat. Schedule a private tour to experience the waterfront setting, boating access, and outdoor living spaces firsthand.
The downstairs is unpermitted and is included in the stated total of 3,014 square feet.
