Why this home stands out
Properties of this scale along Chesapeake Avenue are genuinely rare. At 5,185 square feet, this 1940 home carries the kind of architectural bones — thick walls, generous room proportions, and a lot presence that newer construction simply can't replicate. Four bedrooms and five bathrooms (three full, two half) give large households real breathing room, while the address places you directly on one of Hampton's most storied residential corridors, steps from the Chesapeake Bay shoreline.
ALL OTHERS AREA 102 and the Hampton real estate market
Chesapeake Avenue runs along the northern waterfront edge of Hampton, Virginia, and the stretch near 2402 is one of the city's most architecturally layered residential corridors. Homes here were built across several decades of the twentieth century, and the result is a streetscape with genuine variety — craftsman bungalows beside colonial revivals beside mid-century moderns — all sharing views toward the water and easy access to the broader Hampton Roads region. Hampton itself sits at the southeastern tip of the Virginia Peninsula, bordered by the James River, Hampton Roads harbor, and the Chesapeake Bay. It's one of the oldest continuously settled English-speaking communities in the country, and that history shows up in the city's parks, waterfront, and neighborhood fabric. Daily life here balances a relaxed, water-adjacent pace with solid urban convenience — groceries, dining, healthcare, and major employers are all within a short drive.
What's nearby
The waterfront along Chesapeake Avenue puts Buckroe Beach Park within easy reach for morning walks, weekend volleyball, and summer concerts. Downtown Hampton's waterfront district — with its restaurants, the Virginia Air and Space Science Center, and the Hampton Coliseum corridor — is roughly ten minutes by car. Phoebus, Hampton's historic arts and dining neighborhood, sits just a few minutes east and offers independent restaurants, galleries, and a farmers market. Fort Monroe National Monument, a unique waterfront national park on the tip of the Peninsula, is a short drive away. Everyday needs are covered by grocery and retail options along Mercury Boulevard and Settlers Landing Road.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
NSA Hampton Roads is eight minutes away, and MARFORCOM Norfolk is ten — making 2402 Chesapeake AVE one of the more strategically located addresses for military households on the Peninsula. The home's five bathrooms and four bedrooms handle PCS moves with room to spare, and a VA loan can make a property of this size more accessible than you might expect for eligible service members and veterans.
For families upgrading
If your current home has started to feel like a puzzle of competing schedules and not enough space, 5,185 square feet changes the equation. Four bedrooms and three full bathrooms mean everyone gets a real retreat, and the 1940 construction era typically delivers room dimensions — formal dining rooms, wide hallways, deep closets — that modern floor plans rarely match. Chesapeake Avenue adds a neighborhood address that holds its prestige across decades.
