7 GARAGE SPACES | CAR LIFT | 6.26 ACRES | POND | NO HOA | PRIME HAMPSTEAD LOCATION | DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare in Hampstead. Set on 6.18 private, pond-front acres with no HOA, 162 Griffith Road delivers a level of space, freedom, and functionality that is nearly impossible to find--especially in such a prime and rapidly growing location. This property is defined by its land and infrastructure. With 7 garage bays, a car lift, multiple workshop areas, and 11 total covered vehicle spaces, it is uniquely suited for business owners, car collectors, hobbyists, or anyone needing serious space to operate, store, or create. Replicating this setup today would be both difficult and extremely costly. The setting itself offers the best of both worlds--peaceful acreage with a pond backdrop, yet just minutes from Hampstead's daily conveniences, Topsail Island beaches, and the Wilmington market. The combination of location and land creates a compelling long-term hold. The approach introduces a peaceful, expansive setting, leading to a welcoming covered front porch. Inside, a well-designed floor plan unfolds with a formal dining room for gatherings and a series of connected living spaces that flow effortlessly toward views of the pond beyond. At the heart of the home, the kitchen and breakfast nook create a natural hub for everyday living, opening to a spacious living room designed for comfort and connection. The layout draws your eye outward, where the property's natural beauty becomes part of the experience. The main level includes two secondary bedrooms and a full bath, thoughtfully positioned for privacy. On the opposite side, the primary suite offers a quiet retreat with an ensuite bath and walk-in closet. A second full bath, dedicated laundry room, and direct access to the attached two-car garage complete the main floor. Upstairs, a large bonus room with two walk-in closets and attic access adds exceptional flexibility--ideal for a media room, office, gym, or guest space. Commercial generator with four 250 gallon propane tanks Outdoor living is equally compelling, with a substantial covered rear deck overlooking the pond and surrounding acreage--an ideal setting for entertaining, relaxing, or simply taking in the tranquility of the property. With no HOA restrictions and nearby properties already supporting more intensive uses, this property also presents clear potential for future flexibility or development aligned with Hampstead's growth trajectory and future land use planning. Whether you are looking for space to live, work, store, invest, or all of the above--this is a highly versatile, high-upside property that stands alone in today's market.

There's a moment, right after the gate swings shut behind you, when the road noise stops, and all you hear is wind through the pines. You'll get used to that sound. It's the soundtrack of 3.43 acres where the pasture is already fenced, the barn is already standing, and your horses can be grazing by sunset on closing day. Mornings start on the porch with coffee and the sound of hooves in the grass. Evenings end around the fire pit with nothing overhead but stars, because out here there's nobody's floodlight but your own. One neighbor. No HOA. Nobody driving past to see what you're building. Outside is where this property separates itself. The pasture is electric-fenced with a run-in barn, water trough, and French drain system. Six garage spaces between the attached two-car and the detached four-bay give you room for the truck, the trailer, the project, and the toys. RV hookups with hot and cold water, power, and sewer are already in place, and a dual-fuel generator conveys and ties directly into the home's electrical system. The 2,040 Ft² house lives easy. The main level is wide open, with vaulted ceilings, a gas log fireplace, and a kitchen built to gather around, with granite counters, stainless appliances, and a big island with bar seating. Sliding glass doors off the dining area step out to a brand-new rear deck where the only thing on the schedule is watching the sun drop behind the tree line. The primary suite is on the main level with a jetted soaking tub, tiled walk-in shower with dual shower heads, and double vanities. A guest room with a built-in Murphy bed that conveys keeps company comfortable without eating up everyday space. Over the attached garage, the additional 608 ft² finished bonus room is currently set up as a home theater with a projection screen and five theater recliners that convey-- movie night, game room, or office, whatever you need it to be. All under a 2023 roof replacement with 2022 Water heater and 2016 HVAC. Just 1,250 feet from the Northeast Cape Fear River, this is the kind of quiet that's getting harder to find. Highway 421 is a mile and a half away, putting downtown Wilmington about 20 minutes out and ILM just 18 minutes door-to-door. Land you can work. Space you can breathe in. A place you don't have to explain to anybody. New roof. Fiber internet. One-year home warranty included. Come see it before somebody else does.

Historic Craftsman Bungalow in the Heart of Downtown Wilmington. Discover a rare opportunity to own a meticulously cared for historic home in the heart of vibrant downtown Wilmington. Built in 1930, the McLaughlin-Richard House is a charming Craftsman-style bungalow offering approximately 1,483 square feet, three bedrooms, single story living, beautiful period details, and an exceptionally deep lot extending from 7th Street to Wilson Street. From the moment you arrive, the home's character is unmistakable. The classic brick-and-frame Craftsman façade, broad covered front porch, mature landscaping, and established trees create an inviting first impression and reflect the enduring appeal of this special property. Inside, the home has been lovingly maintained and retains architectural details that are increasingly difficult to find. Abundant oversized windows fill the living spaces with natural light, while substantial white trim, decorative wall detailing, textured plaster walls and ceilings, and graceful architectural transitions between rooms speak to the craftsmanship of an earlier era. The spacious living area is anchored by a handsome original-style brick fireplace creating a natural focal point for the room. An elegant columned opening, wide passageways, and generous windows give the main living spaces a wonderful sense of openness while preserving their historic character. Beneath the existing carpeting lies an exciting glimpse of the home's original beauty: hardwood flooring! The additional 621 square feet upstairs is not included in the square footage of the home due to the ceiling heights. While the house itself is special, the size and configuration of the property make this offering particularly compelling. The beautiful, tree-lined lot extends from 7th Street through to Wilson Street, providing access to the rear of the property from Wilson Street, a potentially valuable feature for a downtown Wilmington residence. The possibilities are intriguing. Preserve the expansive yard as a private garden and outdoor retreat, create additional parking, or investigate options for an accessory structure while maintaining the historic residence as the centerpiece of the property. Incredible Location is another standout feature. The home is just one block from Robert Strange Park, putting recreation remarkably close to home. Even more of Wilmington's downtown lifestyle awaits approximately seven blocks away at the coveted Wilmington Riverfront, where restaurants, shopping, entertainment, historic streets, and beautiful views of the Cape Fear River create one of the city's most desirable destinations. This is the kind of location that makes it possible to enjoy both the neighborhood character of historic Wilmington and the energy of downtown living. The history of the property adds another meaningful dimension. According to the Historic Wilmington Foundation, Inc., the McLaughlin-Richard House was built in 1930 in the Craftsman bungalow style for Robert McLaughlin (1885-1942). The property was purchased in 1944 by George L. Richard (1895-1975), a yard worker and small-business operator, and his wife, Millie Bryant Richard (1907-1994), a beautician and owner of Lezora's Beauty Salon. The Richards were natives of Craven County, North Carolina. That documented history connects the home to the people and small businesses that were part of Wilmington's story. The McLaughlin-Richard House is more than a place to live. It is a chance to own a distinctive piece of Wilmington history, enjoy the lifestyle of downtown, and become the next caretaker of a home that has stood here for nearly a century. Historic character. A remarkable lot. Downtown convenience. And possibilities for the future, all in the heart of Wilmington.
