Why this home stands out
Half-acre lots this close to the beach are genuinely rare in Hampton. At 0.53 acres, 309 Benthall Road gives you real outdoor breathing room — space for a future pool, a proper garden, or just a backyard that doesn't feel like a postage stamp. Add 3,630 square feet of interior space, three full baths plus two half baths, and a 2011 build year that means modern construction standards without the premium of new construction.
BUCKROE GARDEN and the Hampton real estate market
Buckroe Garden sits in the northeastern corner of Hampton, Virginia, where the city quietly transitions from residential streets into a coastal lifestyle that most landlocked neighborhoods can only dream about. The neighborhood carries a relaxed, established feel — mature lots, a mix of well-kept homes, and a genuine sense of community rather than cookie-cutter sameness. Buckroe Beach is less than a mile away, which means summer evenings and weekend mornings look very different here than they do in most of Hampton. Anyone browsing houses for sale in Hampton VA will quickly notice that Buckroe Garden punches above its weight for location: you're close to the water, close to the base, and still well-connected to the broader Peninsula. Hampton itself is one of the most historically rich cities in the country, and its waterfront identity runs all the way through neighborhoods like this one.
