Set on 3.5 acres of level, open land, this pristine coastal cottage offers the perfect setting for family gatherings, waterfront entertaining, or simply enjoying the peace and beauty of Virginia's unspoiled coastline. Meticulously maintained and updated, this low-maintenance home features vinyl siding, a newer roof, new decking, fresh paint, refinished wood floors, updated hardware and light fixtures, an encapsulated crawl space, and numerous additional improvements. The sun drenched interior features 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a flexible study that can accommodate additional guests. Living and dining spaces flow seamlessly into a bright white kitchen offering abundant storage, gas cooking, and timeless appeal. The stunning sunroom is the heart of the home, showcasing panoramic water views from every angle and a dramatic vaulted ceiling. The primary suite enjoys unobstructed views of the Bay, creating the perfect backdrop for peaceful mornings and spectacular sunsets. A recently renovated 30' x 30' detached garage adds versatility, featuring a new roof, water line, updated wiring, insulation, sheetrock, workshop space, and durable ¾-inch rubber flooring. Above, an expansive unfinished second level provides storage or the opportunity to create additional living space, a rec room, or bunk room. Outside, a large dock with boat lift invites you to fully embrace the waterfront lifestyle. Spend your days fishing, crabbing, kayaking, boating, birdwatching, or simply soaking in the natural beauty. Adding to the property's unique charm is an active bald eagle nest, where a new eaglet has been welcomed nearly every year.
