STUNNING Beachfront Home -- York River, Gloucester Point

STUNNING PROPERTY: Spacious historic Gloucester Point residence (>4000 sq ft, avail. Aug. 1) overlooks the York River at a beautiful site. With its own beach (approx. 600 feet) and acres of fields and woods, property provides an ideal Tidewater... family home. 5 BR, 3 bath, DR, Kitchen, Study, Screened Riverside Porch. All rooms have fine river views (gorgeous sunrises, sunsets, and moon sightings). A grand (50x20 ft) living room, flanked by dining room and study (which can be additional bedroom), opens onto waterfront screened porch, which provides panoramic views of the river and immediate access to the beach and water. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full bathrooms; the third floor offers another two cozy bedrooms. A barn offers ample storage space. Beautiful remodeled kitchen flows right into riverside dining room.
You’ll share the land and riverfront with nature – ospreys are longtime residents, eagles visit, dolphins and pelicans appear now and then. Frogs serenade from a pond occupied by turtles and patrolled by kingfishers and herons. The broad beach is a great base for sunbathing, swimming, or crabbing and is accessible for small boats. Larger vessels berth at York River Yacht Haven, in sight from the lawn.
The property is a leisurely walk to Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences and a two min. drive from Coleman Rte. 17 Bridge/Yorktown. Your commute to Williamsburg, William & Mary, Cheatham Annex, Naval Weapons Station, Fort Eustis, Langley AFB, or Newport News is easy. Norfolk is a manageable drive.
Owner is responsible for care of fields, but they are available to tenants (significant use of land may incur extra fee, to be mutually agreed). Smoking is not allowed in the home. Read More
