300 Hampton Place, Canton

Push open the French doors off the entry and you land in a quiet office before the day even starts. A few steps on, the great room settles around the fireplace, then the wall opens and the kitchen runs the full width of the house. Morning light finds the breakfast nook. Out past the glass, a covered porch looks over a level yard with a wood fence on every side. The house sorts itself into rooms that each know their job.

Most two-story plans ask you to trade a strong main floor for a strong upstairs. At 300 Hampton Place, you keep both.

The kitchen stretches the entire width of the house, and it changes how the main floor works

Stone counters, stained cabinetry, a full island with room to spread out, and a breakfast nook that watches the backyard. The run of it is the point. Because the kitchen spans the house, the cooking space, the eating space, and the great room read as one long stretch rather than a boxed-in galley.

The fireplace anchors the great room on one end. The island anchors the kitchen on the other. In between, nothing pinches. That layout is hard to add later, which is why it matters that it was built in from the start in 2007.

All four bedrooms share the upstairs, and the primary is the room people repeat on the drive home

Every bedroom sits on the same upper floor, served by three full baths. One of those bedrooms carries its own private ensuite, so a guest or a work-from-home setup gets a real door and a real bathroom, not a shared hallway.

Then there is the primary. Tray ceiling overhead. A soaking tub and a separate shower in the bath. And two walk-in closets, not one closet split down the middle. It is the kind of suite that ends the tour on a high note instead of an apology.

Keeping all four bedrooms together on one level is a specific choice. It means the sleeping floor stays private and the main level stays for everything else.

A corner lot with a covered porch over a level, fully fenced yard

The porch is covered, so the backyard works in a light rain or full August sun. Below it, the yard is level and fenced on all sides in wood, on a corner lot that gives the house a little more breathing room than an interior lot.

Inside the fence, the grade is flat. That is the detail that decides whether a yard gets used or just gets mowed. A level, enclosed yard opens up to whatever you want to put in it, from a garden to a firepit to a run for a dog.

What the covered porch adds:

• Shade and rain cover for the porch itself, on a corner lot
• A level yard rather than a slope you have to terrace
• Full wood fencing on every side

See it before someone else does

This is a home that holds up in person, where the kitchen's full width and the primary suite's two closets read even better than they photograph. If you have already saved 300 Hampton Place on Zillow or the MLS, the next step is standing in the great room and looking down that kitchen run yourself. Message me to set up a private tour, and I will send recent comparable sales in Hampton and the surrounding Canton neighborhoods so you can see where this price lands.
