Set in a peaceful, rural-feeling setting while still centrally located in Chesapeake, this home has been restored from top to bottom, keeping its character while nearly everything around it has been thoughtfully updated. The result is a house that feels established without feeling dated, with two fireplaces, generous living spaces and updates that go well beyond what you can see. LVP carries through the main level, new carpet finishes the upstairs, and the two fireplaces give the home completely different personalities: one wood-burning, one with gas logs. The kitchen has its own presence with cream cabinetry extending to the ceiling, granite countertops and GE appliances, while the bathrooms have also been updated to continue the refreshed finish throughout the house. Behind the cosmetic work is an equally strong list of improvements. All-new windows, a new dual-zone HVAC system, a new water heater and an updated electrical panel have already been handled, while the roof is approximately five years old. Outside, the newly extended concrete driveway and patio create even more usable space. And then this property gets fun. There is an attached garage, a separate detached garage, an oversized workshop/shed, another storage shed and a treehouse/playhouse tucked into the property. Add the neighboring horses, chickens and goats, and the setting has a little unexpected country character without leaving Chesapeake. It is the combination that makes this one memorable: a peaceful setting with convenient access, two fireplaces, multiple garages and outbuildings, substantial system updates, refreshed interiors and outdoor space with personality. A house with some history left in it, but very little left untouched.
