Tree lined entrance is so welcoming after you find the hidden driveway off of Castel Hayne Rd to your private oasis! Other features include sunroom, multiple decks, three car garage with overhead storage, solar powered security fence, etc. This hidden gem in New Hanover County is only minutes to airport, shopping, downtown, I40 and so much more.
