Welcome to 718 Hughes Road -- a beautifully refreshed brick ranch overlooking the Washington Acres Marina with stunning water views from your front porch and sprawling front yard. Sitting high on over half an acre, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers privacy, space, and a front-row seat to the coastal lifestyle -- without the waterfront price tag.
Established in 1972 and thoughtfully updated, this home blends solid construction with modern improvements and true peace of mind. Major upgrades include a Fortified Roof (2024), crawlspace encapsulation with new vapor barrier, new flooring throughout, fresh interior paint, remodeled bathrooms, new light fixtures and ceiling fans, and a newly built back deck perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The fireplace has been repaired and inspected, the HVAC system has been serviced, the septic system was pumped in 2026, and there is an active termite bond.
Inside, you'll find comfortable living spaces filled with natural light and a functional floor plan designed for everyday living. Step outside to enjoy the spacious yard, mature landscaping, and beautiful marina views that capture the essence of coastal North Carolina living.
Located in the highly desirable southern Hampstead area, you're just minutes from Wilmington, Surf City, and area beaches, all within the sought-after Topsail School District.
This move-in ready home offers updates, views, and location -- coastal living done right.
