Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

This 1870 residence spans 3,783 square feet of period charm and practical living space. The home retains architectural details from its era while offering the room and layout that modern households expect. Four bedrooms and three full baths mean everyone has their own space. The lot provides land and privacy—a rare find in the historic Virginia Tidewater.

About the Mathews real estate market

Mathews is a quiet, rural community on Virginia's Middle Peninsula. The county seat sits between the York and Rappahannock Rivers, where maritime heritage runs deep and neighbors know each other. Tree-lined roads and modest setbacks define the streetscape. Houses here range from centuries-old farmsteads to mid-century cottages, each with room to breathe. Mathews County is about 50 minutes south of Williamsburg and an hour northeast of Richmond. Daily errands take you to local shops and services clustered near the courthouse. The slower pace suits anyone seeking small-town life without the commute burden of sprawling suburbs.

What's nearby

Mathews Harbor lies a short drive away, offering water access and seasonal recreation. The county library and courthouse anchor the town center. Nearby restaurants and a small grocery serve daily needs. Hiking and fishing spots dot the Peninsula's back roads. Williamsburg—with its museums, dining, and historic sites—is under an hour away. The York River provides boating and waterfront activity year-round. Local marinas and boat launches support the area's strong water culture.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Camp Peary is about 34 minutes away; Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is 36 minutes. VA loan financing works well here, and the home's size and land suit a household looking for space without a long daily commute. Four bedrooms and a private lot mean room to settle in.

Room to grow

Four bedrooms give everyone their own space, and 3.1 baths reduce morning conflicts. The 3,783-square-foot layout spreads across a generous lot—rare in rural Virginia. Original hardwoods and period details add character that newer homes lack. Storage and land are built in.
