Why this home stands out
What sets 152 Mann Drive apart is its position at the heart of one of Chesapeake's most walkable pockets. Within a third of a mile you have dining, coffee, a park, and a gym — rare for a single-family home in this price tier. The 1965 construction gives the home solid bones and generous room proportions that newer builds in the area often trade away for square footage.
