A turnkey 1.3-acre property with the space, garages, porches and privacy buyers keep looking farther out to find--yet this is just across the Virginia line. The 1,707 finished sf is only part of what this property delivers: a 528sf partially finished FROG, 720sf Master Steel detached garage/workshop and 418sf of Trex-decked covered porches w/new ceiling fans add exceptional usable space beyond the main living area. Tucked back off the end of a quiet road, the setting is open, private and exceptionally well kept, with room for boats, equipment, hobbies, entertaining and simply spreading out. A huge covered front porch welcomes you to an airy foyer, where transom windows above the entry doors, integrated blinds, high ceilings, new carpet and abundant natural light set a tone for a home that feels spacious from the moment you enter. The great room flows naturally into the dining and kitchen areas. At the heart of the home, the kitchen features a gas cooktop, beautiful backsplash, a coffee bar, Bosch, and a built-in pantry. Exit doors from both the great room and kitchen open directly to the full-length covered rear Trex deck. The split-bedroom design places the primary suite privately on the opposite side of the home from the secondary bedrooms. A tray ceiling adds architectural interest, while his-and-her walk-in closets, and a separate soaking tub complete the suite. There's considerably more beyond the living area. The attached garage is finished with painted walls and floor plus a convenient side exit. Above it, the FROG is partially finished, giving the next owner a head start for future living space. The Master Steel detached garage/workshop provides substantial room for a boat, equipment, projects, and the gear. Add an RV/generator hookup, outdoor shower, expansive usable yard and the advantage of being outside the flood zone. This is a thoughtfully improved, move-in-ready property offering the land, garage and workshop space, outdoor living and breathing room that can be difficult to find this close to Virginia Beach and Chesapeake.
