Why this home stands out
Built in 1947, this home carries the kind of structural solidity and architectural detail that newer construction rarely replicates. At 1,669 square feet across three bedrooms and two full baths, the floor plan is efficient without feeling cramped. The location is the real headline: two military installations within ten minutes, a Food Lion three-tenths of a mile away, and multiple dining options literally around the corner. Convenience and character in one package.
MERRIMAC SHORES and the Hampton real estate market
Hampton is one of the oldest English-speaking settlements in the country, and that history shows up in the city's texture — established tree lines, compact walkable blocks, and neighborhoods where houses have stories. The area around Eggleston Ave sits in a mature, residential pocket of Hampton where mid-century homes line quiet streets and daily errands rarely require a highway. Hampton itself straddles the water at every turn, with the Chesapeake Bay and Hampton Roads harbor shaping both the scenery and the lifestyle. The city offers a genuinely diverse mix of local restaurants, waterfront parks, and community spaces without the congestion of larger metro cores. For military families, Hampton's position inside the broader Hampton Roads region means you're central to nearly every installation in the area — and the VA loan-friendly market here reflects that reality. Whether you're drawn by the history, the water access, or the straightforward commutes, Hampton delivers.

Trimble Field and Eason Park are both under a mile away for outdoor time, and a Public Overlook at 0.8 miles gives you a spot to take in the water views that define this part of Hampton. A 7-Eleven is half a mile out when you need a quick coffee stop.
