Looking for privacy, a large lot, no city taxes, and no HOA? Well those are just a few of the perks this charming home has to offer. Sitting on just under ¾ of an acre, this quaint brick ranch is perfectly located of Porters Neck Rd. Which allows for easy access to schools, grocery shopping, delectable restaurants, Interstate 40, and avoiding the rat race within the city limits of Wilmington. While also being tucked away within the mature, natural buffer created by the beautiful vegetation and trees. The backyard is something not often found in New Hanover County, given it's size, privacy, and natural setting. Which makes grilling on the large back deck no longer a task, but rather a treat. The additional parking space, and outdoor shower screams boat life, while the wood burning fireplace beckons for a cold December night. This property has all the needed assists to make it a home. The large living room, updated primary bath, bright kitchen, spacious garage, fenced in backyard, and desired floorplan offers something for every buyer. Yet most importantly, at a price scarcely offered in our coastal area.

R-15
Residential-15 District
The purpose of the Residential-15 (R-15) District is established to provide lands that accommodate very low to low density residential development that can serve as a transition between very low density residential development patterns and smaller lot, more dense residential areas of the County. District regulations discourage development that substantially interferes with the quiet residential and recreational nature of the district.
