314 Pond View Ct, Hampstead, NC 28443

This 1955 bungalow sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a generous 0.81-acre parcel — a rare oversized lot in Virginia Creek Forest that feels more like a private coastal retreat than a typical neighborhood lot. Approaching on the gravel drive, you’ll notice the wide front porch and mature trees that frame the property; the home backs to a former pond and wooded buffer, providing a tucked-away setting with plenty of outdoor room for gardening, expansion, or simple backyard living.

Inside, the house wears its era proudly: original knotty pine walls and hardwood floors give an immediate sense of warmth and character. The footprint is efficient — 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms within 851 square feet — and the layout invites comfortable, low-maintenance living. A retro built-in oven and thoughtful vintage details coexist with practical systems upgrades completed in 2025, including a new foundation (the house was relocated to this foundation), new HVAC and ductwork, and a new hot water heater, so you get period charm with modern mechanicals.

The property is being offered furnished and truly presents as turnkey — an easy pick for someone seeking a full-time coastal home, a weekend escape, or a short-term rental near Topsail. Parking is abundant on the long gravel driveway (5+ spaces), and utilities include county water, septic, and electricity served by Jones-Onslow EMC. There is no garage, which preserves the open yard and keeps options flexible for future additions.

Location is a standout: Surf City Beach is roughly 5 miles away, Topsail Island about 6 miles, and Hampstead Marina and local conveniences sit within a few minutes’ drive. Highly rated local schools (Surf City Elementary and Middle schools, plus Topsail High) add to the area’s family appeal. Recent comparable sales in the immediate area range from about $275,000 to $300,000 — the October 2025 list at $289,000 sits squarely in that band, reflecting both the lot premium and the 2025 structural investments. Buyers should note the property backs to a former pond; due diligence and a professional inspection are advised to assess drainage and roof condition.

If you want a walkable commute to beach days paired with a peaceful, wooded yard and a home that blends mid-century character with critical 2025 upgrades, 314 Pond View Ct is a compelling, move-in-ready option.
