Why this home stands out
The square footage here is the headline — 2,778 square feet across four bedrooms and two and a half baths gives everyone in the household real room to spread out. Homes of this size, built in the late 1990s when construction standards were generous, tend to offer the kind of layout flexibility that newer, more compact builds simply can't match. Add a 1998 build year and you're looking at a home that has grown into its bones.
FORREST LAKE and the Hampton real estate market
Sherry Dell Drive sits in a quiet residential pocket of Hampton, Virginia — a city that consistently punches above its weight when it comes to livability. Hampton is one of the oldest English-speaking settlements in the country, and that history gives the city a texture you don't find in newer suburbs. The neighborhoods here range from waterfront communities along the Chesapeake Bay to inland subdivisions that trade water views for space and value. This particular address lands in the latter category — a calm, established area where the streets are lined with homes from the 1990s and early 2000s, giving the whole corridor a consistent, settled feel. Hampton's location at the tip of the Virginia Peninsula means you're never far from water, bridges, or the broader Hampton Roads metro. Interstate 64 is close, connecting you north toward Williamsburg or south across the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel into Norfolk and Virginia Beach. City services, parks, and everyday conveniences are woven throughout, making Hampton a genuinely practical place to put down roots.

For different buyers
For military families relocating
Joint Base Langley-Eustis is roughly ten minutes away, and NSA Hampton Roads is about eighteen — making 40 Sherry Dell Drive a genuinely practical choice for active-duty households. Four bedrooms handle deployments, homecomings, and everything in between. Buyers using a VA loan will find Hampton a welcoming market, and this home's size means you're not giving anything up to stay close to base.
For families upgrading
If you've outgrown your current space, 2,778 square feet across four bedrooms and two and a half baths is the kind of room that actually solves the problem. There's space for a dedicated home office, a guest room that doesn't double as storage, and bedrooms that don't require a schedule to share. The 1998 build year means the floor plan was designed for modern family life — not retrofitted to fit it.
