Perched along the pristine waters of the Intracoastal Waterway, 7 S Waterfront Place in Hampstead, North Carolina, represents the pinnacle of coastal luxury living. Priced at $4,750,000, this custom-designed masterpiece seamlessly blends architectural sophistication with the natural beauty of its waterfront setting, creating an extraordinary residence that captures both breathtaking views and the timeless charm of mature live oaks.

Upon entering, visitors are immediately struck by the floating staircase, an architectural marvel that allows unobstructed views of the water beyond while creating a dramatic focal point that sets the tone for the entire residence.

The second floor showcases an open-concept living space that epitomizes modern luxury. White oak hardwood flooring flows throughout, providing warmth and continuity while complementing the home’s sophisticated palette. The living room features an electric fireplace surrounded by built-in cabinetry, creating an intimate gathering space that maintains the home’s connection to water views. The adjacent dining area flows seamlessly into a chef’s kitchen that would satisfy the most discerning culinary enthusiast.

The kitchen stands as a testament to both form and function, featuring premium Thermador appliances including a professional-grade gas range and built-in refrigeration. The central island with bar seating creates a natural gathering point for both casual meals and entertaining. Thoughtful details include a reverse osmosis water system and a walk-in pantry that ensures the kitchen remains both beautiful and highly functional.

The primary suite serves as a private retreat, offering stunning water views and a spa-like bathroom experience. The ensuite bathroom features a walk-in shower and soaking tub positioned to take advantage of the scenic vistas, while river wood cabinetry adds natural texture and warmth. A generous walk-in closet provides ample storage, and an additional bedroom on the main floor offers flexibility as either guest accommodation or a private office space.

The third floor expands the home’s living capacity with a guest suite featuring its own private bathroom, plus two additional bedrooms that share a well-appointed jack-and-jill bathroom. A large loft area provides versatile space for recreation or relaxation, while a dedicated laundry room with utility sink and separate utility room ensure practical needs are met with the same attention to detail found throughout the home. An elevator provides convenient access to all floors, making the home’s vertical design both elegant and accessible.

The outdoor living spaces rival the interior in their thoughtful design and luxury appointments. Covered porches and decks constructed with durable Jatoba wood create multiple venues for enjoying the coastal climate and water views. The back deck features a complete outdoor kitchen, perfect for waterfront entertaining and al fresco dining. These spaces extend the home’s living area into the natural environment, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

A four-car garage includes workshop space for hobbies or storage, while an outdoor hot and cold shower provides convenience for those returning from water activities. A Generac whole-house generator ensures uninterrupted comfort regardless of weather conditions. And a cedar shake and copper roof not only provides durability and weather resistance but also adds to the home’s distinctive architectural character.

Perhaps the most compelling feature is the private dock with boat lift, providing direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway, offering opportunities for boating, fishing, and water recreation right from the backyard.

The property offers convenience to Hampstead’s pristine beaches and fishing areas, along with Wilmington’s amenities. The Intracoastal Waterway provides protected waters ideal for boating enthusiasts, while nearby Topsail Island offers additional recreational opportunities.
