KNOWN as Serenity Point to landlubbers, this hidden cove, due south and west from the Intra-
coastal Waterway, is fringed by a stand of live oak trees and the quiet cul-de-sac adjoining
Channel Haven is scarcely detected by mariners en route toward Snows Cut and Carolina
Beach Inlet.
At least, custom homebuilder Lucien Ellison never noticed the point from the helm of his boat; and now,
after building an uber energy-efficient second home for a Chapel Hill couple and their young son, he says he
still has a hard time seeing beyond the tree line to spot the house.
