Property Description

A builder's own estate — private, impeccable, and set on approximately eight wooded acres at the end of a quiet Chesapeake cul-de-sac. Custom-built by the builder for his own family, this brick-and-stone home reflects a level of care you rarely find. Nothing here has been left untouched; it lives like new construction. A long gravel drive winds past mature trees to the home, where a sweeping front porch offers multiple entries and room to linger. Deer, turkey, and other wildlife are frequent visitors. Inside, a grand open floor plan rises to cathedral ceilings, finished with updated tile flooring, crown molding, and Hunter ceiling fans. The living area anchors around a dramatic stone fireplace and flows into an eat-in kitchen with rustic cabinetry, updated KitchenAid appliances, an electric cooktop, and a large center island with bar seating. The first floor holds a spacious primary suite, generously sized baths, and a well-placed Jack-and-Jill. Upstairs, brand-new carpet runs through bedrooms of exceptional size, and the primary closet is fitted with extensive custom built-ins. The two-story garage apartment is a standout, two bedrooms, 1.5 baths, multiple living areas, and a full eat-in kitchen, great for guests, multigenerational living, or income potential. The garages themselves have been freshly painted white, bright and spotless. Recent improvements include fresh paint throughout, LED lighting, updated kitchen and bath fixtures, two new HVAC units, a mini-split serving the room over the garage, smoke detectors, smart locks, and an on-demand propane water heater. Estate infrastructure is equally serious: 600-amp electrical service, a four-inch private well with pump house, a new water-softening system, hard-ducted HVAC, an illuminated crawl space, and a septic system serviced in 2026. A concrete parking pad completes the property. Privacy, craftsmanship, and acreage — a genuinely distinctive Chesapeake estate.
