A professionally designed, fully fenced patio and courtyard is a perfect oasis for outdoor living spaces and gardens. There is a shed for storing your gardening tools, bicycles, and beach toys plus off-street parking for two vehicles in the brick paved driveway. Live the lifestyle you've dreamed of. Short walks to downtown, Prescott Park, and Piece Island. New Castle is just a short drive over the bridge to The Wentworth-by-the Sea, Marina and Country Club.
