1400 Fentress Rd, Chesapeake, VA 23322

Why this home stands out

Homes built in 1898 don't come along often, and 1400 Fentress Road is the kind of property that makes history tangible. Four bedrooms and two baths spread across 1,794 square feet of a structure that has stood for more than a century — long before the surrounding area filled in around it. If you're drawn to craftsmanship, story, and a home that already has a personality, this address delivers something new construction simply cannot replicate.

PLEASANT GROVE and the Chesapeake real estate market

Fentress Road sits in the Hickory area of Chesapeake, one of the city's more quietly distinctive corridors — semi-rural in feel, with generous lot sizes and a pace that contrasts refreshingly with the denser neighborhoods closer to the interstate. Chesapeake itself is the second-largest city by land area in the continental United States, and the Hickory section captures that expansiveness well: you get breathing room without sacrificing access to everyday conveniences. Among Chesapeake homes for sale, properties in this zip code tend to attract buyers who want land, character, and a genuine sense of place. The city's mix of farmland, waterways, and established communities gives Hickory its particular identity — unhurried but connected, with solid infrastructure and a strong local pride that long-time residents are quick to mention.
