    What's special

    Bright sunroomFull-size laundry roomStainless steel appliances
    This charming 4-bedroom, 2-bath Cape Cod offers nearly 1,900 sq ft of comfortable living space just two blocks from the Atlantic Ocean. The home blends classic coastal character with practical updates, featuring stainless steel appliances, a full-size laundry room, a bright sunroom, and a cozy fireplace that anchors the main living area. The interior includes a mix of wood floors, carpet, and tile, giving each space its own personality while maintaining an easy, livable flow. 2-zone heat pump systems. Outside, the property shines even more. The beautiful, spacious deck is perfect for relaxing or entertaining, and the large 6,104 sq ft lot is one of the rare gems of the Oceanfront district. The rear portion of the lot is buildable, offering exceptional potential for a garage with an apartment, a full ADU, or even a second home depending on buyer plans and city approvals. This added development flexibility dramatically increases long-term value. Located in the heart of the boardwalk area, the home sits in one of the most walkable, vibrant pockets of Virginia Beach — close to restaurants, events, parks, and the ocean itself. It’s a property that delivers lifestyle, location, and investment upside all in one.
    What the owner loves about this home
    What I love about this property is its rare combination of location, lot size, and buildable potential — something you almost never find this close to the ocean. The home sits on one of the largest lots in the entire Oceanfront district, and the rear portion of the property is buildable, creating multiple income-producing paths: an ADU, a garage apartment, a short-term rental unit, or even a second home depending on buyer plans and city approvals. Being just two blocks from the beach dramatically increases rental demand and long-term appreciation, while the walkable location keeps occupancy high year-round. For investors, builders, or anyone looking to maximize value, this property offers both immediate usability and significant upside, making it a standout opportunity in Virginia Beach.
