Towles Rd is a tree-lined, pedestrian-friendly neighborhood with no HOA dues and just a 5-minute drive to Mayfaire, first class stores and restaurants and in the desirable Hoggard school district. Truly a one-of-a-kind coastal estate for fine coastal living. The home on a 4.8 acre parcel may be purchased without the additional buildable half-acre lot. See the MLS listing for 6321 Towles Rd.
