Why this home stands out
Built in 2026, this home offers something increasingly rare in Hampton Roads: a clean slate. No deferred maintenance, no dated finishes, no compromises inherited from a previous owner. Everything from the foundation up is new construction, which means modern building codes, current energy standards, and systems that haven't logged a single hour of wear before you walk through the door.
