Why this home stands out
Five bedrooms in a single-family home built in 2011 is a combination that's harder to find than you'd expect in western Chesapeake. At 3,100 square feet, there's genuine room to spread out — dedicated space for a home office, a guest room, and still have bedrooms left over. The 2011 build year means you're working with modern construction standards, updated mechanical systems, and layouts designed for the way people actually live today.
