Why this home stands out
What sets 171 Sunset Boulevard apart is the combination of modern construction — built in 2014 when current codes and energy standards were already in place — with genuine small-town coastal character that older Cape Charles homes simply can't replicate. At nearly 4,800 square feet with four full baths plus a half bath, this is one of the larger single-family footprints in the entire town, giving you room to spread out without sacrificing the walkable, village-scale lifestyle Cape Charles is known for.
About the Cape Charles real estate market
Cape Charles sits at the southern tip of Virginia's Eastern Shore, a narrow peninsula where the Chesapeake Bay meets the Atlantic corridor. The town itself is a designated historic district — a grid of tree-lined streets, Victorian and Colonial Revival architecture, and a genuine small-town rhythm that feels increasingly rare on the East Coast. Sunset Boulevard runs along the bay-facing western edge of town, putting 171 Sunset Boulevard within easy reach of the public beach, the harbor, and the walkable Main Street corridor that anchors daily life here. Cape Charles homes for sale in this zip code draw buyers who want space, water access, and a real sense of place rather than a generic subdivision. The town is part of Northampton County and sits roughly two hours from Richmond and Norfolk, connected to Hampton Roads via the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. Year-round residents and part-time owners alike appreciate the low traffic, the tight-knit community, and the fact that the bay is never more than a short walk away.
What's nearby
Daily life at 171 Sunset Boulevard is genuinely walkable by small-town standards. The Oyster Farm Seafood Eatery is just a tenth of a mile away — practically next door — making waterfront dining a casual weeknight option. Within about seven-tenths of a mile you'll find Don V's Taco Truck and AJ's Bar & Grill for more casual meals, plus Peach Street Books and Edible Picasso if you prefer a quieter coffee stop. The Almeta rounds out the coffee options at eight-tenths of a mile. Drizzles Oil & Vinegar Tasting Store and Gull Hummock Gourmet Market handle specialty grocery needs at similar distances. Central Park is half a mile away for outdoor time, and Sky's The Limit Yoga Co keeps fitness close at hand.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Joint Base Langley-Eustis is roughly 47 minutes from 171 Sunset Boulevard via the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel — a commute that trades highway sprawl for a genuinely scenic drive and a home base that feels nothing like the typical base-adjacent suburb.

For buyers drawn to character
If you've been searching for a home that earns its address — where the town itself is part of the appeal — Cape Charles delivers in a way few Virginia communities can. The historic streetscape, the bay at the end of the block, the independent restaurants and bookshops within walking distance: 171 Sunset Boulevard puts all of it at your doorstep inside a 2014-built home that doesn't ask you to trade modern comfort for character.
