Why this home stands out
Buildings from 1892 don't come along every day, and 301 Washington Street carries more than a century of Hampton history in its bones. The multi-family configuration gives you flexibility that newer construction rarely offers, all wrapped in Victorian-era architecture on a street that puts you within a short walk of the waterfront, brewpubs, and the Virginia Air and Space Center. It's a rare combination of age, scale, and location.
ALL OTHERS AREA 102 and the Hampton real estate market

If you've been searching for houses in hampton va with genuine character rather than cookie-cutter construction, this part of the city delivers. The waterfront is a constant presence — Mill Point Park and Honor Park are both within a two-minute walk, and the Elizabeth River views set a tone for daily life that newer suburban neighborhoods simply can't replicate. Hampton sits in Hampton Roads, Virginia's sprawling coastal metro, with easy access to Norfolk, Newport News, and the broader peninsula. The city blends military heritage, maritime culture, and a quietly growing arts and dining scene that makes downtown feel alive without feeling overwhelming.
