**A Private Waterfront Estate on Topsail Sound**
Perfectly positioned on 3.48 private waterfront acres with more than 100 feet along the shores of Topsail Sound, this architecturally distinctive residence offers an exceptional combination of privacy, panoramic water views, and refined coastal living. Tucked away in one of Hampstead's most desirable waterfront settings, the property provides a peaceful retreat while remaining just minutes from public Intracoastal Waterway boat access, Surf City beaches, waterfront dining, boutique shopping, local breweries, golf, marinas, and the pedestrian walkway to the Surf City Bridge. Designed to maximize both natural light and the surrounding views, the home's main living level showcases soaring 11-foot ceilings, expansive windows that frame the waterfront, custom gallery-style lighting, and an open-concept floor plan that flows effortlessly from one gathering space to the next. Whether hosting large celebrations or enjoying quiet evenings at home, every room has been thoughtfully designed to embrace the beauty of its surroundings. At the heart of the home, the beautifully appointed kitchen combines style and functionality with premium appliances, custom cabinetry, granite countertops, double sinks, an InstaHot faucet, abundant workspace, and a generous gathering island that naturally becomes the centerpiece for entertaining family and friends. The owner's suite serves as a private sanctuary, featuring dual walk-in closets, dual vanities, and a spa-inspired bath complete with a custom tile shower featuring multiple body sprays. Three additional bedrooms provide exceptional comfort for family and guests, including a private ensuite and a thoughtfully designed dual-entry bath that offers both privacy and convenience. One of the home's most distinctive features is its remarkable upper level. Two private offices, a library lined with custom built-in shelving, a hidden secret room, and an additional half bath create an incredibly versatile space perfectly suited for today's lifestyle. Whether envisioned as executive offices, a creative studio, reading retreat, homeschool space, media room, or guest accommodations, this level offers flexibility rarely found in coastal homes. The ground level continues that versatility with a spacious four-car garage, dedicated workshop, generous storage areas, and an expansive bonus space with two additional rooms offering endless possibilities for a fitness studio, hobby room, guest quarters, wine storage, or multi-generational living. Outdoor living is equally impressive. Covered and open-air gathering spaces invite you to enjoy breathtaking sunsets across Topsail Sound, morning coffee with gentle coastal breezes, or evenings entertaining beneath the Carolina sky. The expansive grounds provide an extraordinary sense of privacy rarely found in waterfront properties, creating a setting that feels more like a private estate than a neighborhood residence. Constructed with quality, efficiency, and long-term comfort in mind, the home is equipped with an elevator serving all three floors, a whole-house generator, Andersen windows, Hardie® siding, composite decking, tankless water heater, EV charging capability, a fenced yard, and an outdoor shower--features that enhance both everyday living and peace of mind. What truly sets this property apart is the rare combination of waterfront, acreage, architectural character, and location. While many waterfront homes sacrifice privacy for proximity, this exceptional estate offers both--allowing owners to enjoy a tranquil coastal lifestyle without giving up convenient access to beaches, boating, Wilmington, and everyday amenities. Extensively upgraded, thoughtfully designed, and meticulously maintained, 135 Heron Cove Road represents a rare opportunity to own one of Hampstead's truly distinctive waterfront estates.
