NEW PRICE! A fantastic opportunity for investors or buyers looking to add value and make this property their own. Charming, character-filled cottage bungalow in Hampton's Olde Wythe Historic Landmark District, just one block from the Chesapeake Bay. From the moment you step onto the expansive screened front porch, this home feels special. Inside, natural light fills rooms rich with original architectural details, including oak hardwood floors, tall ceilings, beautiful trim work and magnificent arched openings that reflect the craftsmanship of another era. Replacement windows, electrical & plumbing updates offer an appreciated modern update while preserving the home's timeless appeal. Out back, a large covered deck overlooks a private, fenced backyard framed by mature landscaping, including a beautiful Japanese maple and a prolific fig tree. It's a wonderful setting for morning coffee, bird watching, quiet evenings or simply enjoying the outdoors. And the history? This home is included in the National Register of Historic Places, and local history tells an especially memorable story: its original owners operated a speakeasy in the basement during Prohibition! Historic charm, Chesapeake Bay proximity and a home with a story all its own. The seller is also providing a one-year home warranty for added peace of mind.
