Welcome home to 156 Poplar Branch Way, a thoughtfully designed coastal retreat located in one of Hampstead's most desirable communities. Just three miles from the Surf City bridge and the beautiful beaches of Topsail Island, this home offers the ideal blend of everyday convenience and laid-back coastal lifestyle. Tucked away at the end of a rare double cul-de-sac, the setting provides a sense of privacy and safety that is hard to find, especially for those who value quiet streets and outdoor living.
Sitting on an expansive 0.43-acre lot, this property truly shines outdoors. The large backyard offers plenty of space for kids, pets, gardening, or entertaining, while the outdoor sitting area with a fire pit overlooks a neighboring pond, creating a peaceful backdrop for evenings spent with family and friends. Whether it's hosting weekend gatherings or enjoying a quiet night under the stars, this yard was designed to be lived in and enjoyed.
Inside, the home offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms with approximately 2,411 square feet of well-planned living space. The layout is both functional and flexible, making it easy to adapt to a variety of lifestyles. Fresh interior paint throughout gives the home a clean, move-in-ready feel and allows the next owner to personalize with ease. An upstairs bonus room adds valuable versatility and can easily serve as a home office, playroom, media room, or private guest suite, depending on your needs.
The home has also been thoughtfully maintained with smart upgrades that add lasting value. A fortified 30-year architectural roof installed in 2020 provides peace of mind, while a whole-home water softener system enhances daily comfort and convenience. These behind-the-scenes improvements make a meaningful difference and reflect the care that has gone into the home over the years. Location is another standout feature. Zoned for top-rated Topsail schools, the home is just minutes from Publix, local dining, breweries, and shopping. For military buyers, Camp Lejeune is approximately 25 miles away, offering an easy commute, while Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach are both under 35 miles, expanding your options for work, entertainment, and recreation.
Move-in ready and packed with value, 156 Poplar Branch Way offers space, location, and lifestyle in one complete package. This is a home that invites you to slow down, spread out, and enjoy everything coastal North Carolina living has to offer.
