About This Home
A Rare Find in Northern Hampstead - Welcome to Snug Harbor! This classic 1964 single-story beach cottage sits on nearly 3/4 of an acre across two lots, offering a truly unique opportunity in northern Hampstead. Whether you're looking for a charming coastal retreat or space to grow/maintain a hobby business, this property delivers unmatched flexibility and potential. Standout features include: the main home which is full of character and ready for your personal updates, a brand new/permitted oversized detached 2-car garage (864 sq ft) with its own power meter/HVAC with a finished walk-up bonus space above (approx. 628 sq ft)/balcony, an additional OVERSIZED detached 1-car garage (432 sq ft) with an unfinished walk-up loft, separate storage shed, 2-car carport, detached boat-carport with lean-to storage, and access to the Snug Harbor boat ramp/parking area at the end of Jamaica Drive. A portion of the main home is heated and cooled by a conv split system and assisted by multiple mini-splits for the remainder. The lot is fully fenced, and the septic system was just pumped. With this much space, storage and utility, the property is a dream for entrepreneurs, hobbyists, or anyone with an active lifestyle/lots of toys. Located in one of the area's top-rated school districts and just minutes from Topsail's beautiful beaches, this home offers the rare combination of coastal charm, practical functionality, and investment potential. Come see all the possibilities that this cozy cottage with some flex in Snug Harbor has to offer (the kids might say ''this property 'slaps'')--opportunities like this don't come around often. Pender County could not provide an original septic permit; permits obtained/recovered reference the garage and the existing septic has NOT been tied to the garage.
