Why this home stands out
Built in 2018, this home skips the renovation guesswork that older properties bring. Five bedrooms across 2,662 square feet means there's genuine room for everyone — a dedicated home office, a guest suite, space for the kids — without anyone feeling squeezed. The relatively recent construction also means systems, finishes, and energy efficiency are all on the right side of the calendar, which matters when you're thinking long-term.
SHERBORNE MANOR and the Chesapeake real estate market
Kathys Way sits in western Chesapeake, a part of the city that trades the bustle of the Oceanfront for quieter residential streets and noticeably more elbow room. Chesapeake is one of the largest cities by land area in the entire country, and this corner of it — the 23323 zip code — has a well-earned reputation for newer subdivisions, generous lot sizes, and a community feel that's hard to manufacture. Neighbors tend to stay a while, and the streets reflect it. The broader city of Chesapeake offers easy access to the rest of Hampton Roads without the congestion of Norfolk or Virginia Beach's resort strip. For families comparing homes for sale in Chesapeake, this western corridor consistently comes up as a sweet spot: newer housing stock, reasonable commutes, and a pace of life that feels genuinely suburban without being remote.
What's nearby
Olde Mill Run Park is just 0.4 miles away — a walkable option for morning runs, weekend picnics, or letting the kids burn off energy after school. Chesapeake's western side is well-served by the retail and dining corridors along Battlefield Boulevard and Cedar Road, putting grocery stores, pharmacies, coffee shops, and casual restaurants within a short drive. Interstate 64 and Route 17 are both accessible from this area, making it practical to reach downtown Norfolk, the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, or the USCG Finance Center Chesapeake without fighting your way through dense surface streets.
