1034 Mallard Bay Drive, Hampstead, NC 28443

Description

ICW waterfront paradise found! Deep protected water at all tides, bulkhead, pier/dock, ICW front with no HOA. Watch the yachts, snowbirds and daily boaters all from your screened in front porch, or enjoy amazing island views and sunrises with coffee or wine from the rooftop deck of the boathouse located down by the water. The boathouse also has electric and water. The avid fisherman will appreciate the fish cleaning station right outside at the bulkhead at water's edge. This original classic beach cottage was totally gutted - down to the studs in 1995/1996 per owner. Wiring, receptacles, extreme amount of insulation, etc. Bathroom and kitchen all new at that time including cabinetry and appliances. New flat roof covering in 2022. New refrigerator in May 2021 and microwave in early 2021. All this waterfront home needs is a new owner. Mallard Bay home owners enjoy accessing the ICW from their own protected deep water via a jetty entrance on one end and a natural deep water inlet to the North. The water flow allows for safely swimming right off your dock overhanging the water. Located next to world class Harbor Village Marina, the most traffic you will see other than boats is neighbors on golf carts darting to and from each other's homes. Mere minutes will find you on one of the area's barrier islands for an afternoon of beach life or on the pristine beaches on Topsail Island. With several eateries accessible by boat this lifestyle simply cannot be beat. This one is a true beach classic. This is one of the few remaining protected and deep waterfront lots in the area that does not have an HOA. Residents in this neighborhood just look after each other because that is the lifestyle chosen, not mandatory!
