Why this home stands out
Properties with genuine mid-19th-century origins are uncommon anywhere in Hampton Roads, and finding one with 2,863 square feet of livable space makes 2410 Centerville Turnpike genuinely hard to replicate. This isn't a house that was built to look old — it actually is old, carrying the craftsmanship, proportions, and presence that only come with real age. For buyers who want a home with a past, this address delivers exactly that.
HICKORY and the Chesapeake real estate market
Centerville Turnpike is one of those roads that has anchored a community for generations. Running through the heart of southern Chesapeake, it connects residential pockets to everyday conveniences while keeping a spacious, unhurried feel that distinguishes this part of the city from denser urban corridors to the north. Chesapeake itself is Virginia's second-largest city by land area, and that scale translates into elbow room — wider lots, quieter streets, and a pace that suits families and individuals who want proximity to the broader Hampton Roads metro without living inside it. The area around 2410 Centerville Turnpike reflects that balance well: established, grounded, and close enough to everything without feeling crowded. City services, infrastructure, and major road access are all solid here, and the surrounding landscape still carries the open, semi-rural character that long-time residents associate with this part of Chesapeake.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are straightforward from this address. Grocery options, pharmacies, and gas stations are all within a short drive along the Centerville corridor. The Chesapeake Square Mall area sits within easy reach for broader retail needs. Outdoor options include Northwest River Park, one of the region's best-kept recreational assets, offering trails, camping, and water access just a short drive south. For dining, the Greenbrier area to the north provides a wide range of restaurants and coffee shops. Interstate 64 and the Virginia Beach Expressway both connect quickly from this location, keeping the broader Hampton Roads region well within reach.
