The Steve Arnaudin Houseaka Winged Genius

115 Castle Cove Lane, Castle Hayne NC

The name is a tribute to Professor John Reuer who introduced NC State students to the term "winged genius" during his history of design lectures. Sold to Sean Fitzsimmons. Sold to Brian and Andrea Arbogast, still owners as of 2022. A large tree felled by Hurricane Matthew crushed the original screened porch. The Arbogasts had Arnaudin design a new porch with a deck.
