Here is the list for December 18,2020
BEST DEAL IN HAMPSTEADx
1073 Factory Road , Hampstead, NC 28443
This is a story of a very motivated seller. When this property was first listed in July the asking price was $350,000. It did go under contract, but it was a contingent offer and we’re told that the buyer could not sell their own home to afford this one. Since that deal fell through the owners of this 2,700 plus square foot home with three bedrooms and three and a half baths have been reducing their asking price. Most recently it was dropped by $65,000 off the original mark. This home is located just two minutes from the Hampstead Marina. Features include two laundry rooms, outdoor shower, covered car port, boat shelter, garden shed, and a large garage. The first level has an open floor plan with the kitchen and living room. There is an additional 700 square feet that could be used as a theater room, office, mother in law suite, another master suite, or game room. The home has recently been updated with LVP flooring, recessed lighting, and large trim. New asking price of $285,000 is under a recent appraised value.

Measuring 3,000 square feet, the home has four bedrooms plus a bonus room that could be a fifth bedroom, along with three and a half baths. It sits on a large corner lot with a fenced yard.
