Tom & Dariya's overview

Our read on this home

by Tom & Dariya Milan, REALTORS® · Brokered by LPT Realty

At a glance

A seven-bedroom, 3.1-bath home on Chesapeake Avenue in Hampton, Virginia — nearly 3,900 square feet of space built in 1968, sitting minutes from NSA Hampton Roads and the waterfront character that defines this corner of the 23669 zip code.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Seven bedrooms in a single-family home is genuinely rare, and 4001 Chesapeake Ave delivers that scale on a named avenue with real neighborhood bones. The 1968 construction means solid mid-century structure with room dimensions that newer builds rarely match. Whether you need space for a large family, multi-generational living, or dedicated home-office and hobby rooms, the floor plan here gives you options that most Hampton homes for sale simply cannot.

MERRIMAC SHORES and the Hampton real estate market

Chesapeake Avenue runs through one of Hampton's older, tree-lined residential corridors, where mid-century homes sit on established lots and neighbors tend to stay for years. The area carries a quiet, unhurried feel while still being woven into the broader fabric of Hampton — a city that balances deep military history, working waterfront, and a genuinely diverse community. Hampton sits at the heart of the Hampton Roads metro, bordered by the Chesapeake Bay and the James River, and its Phoebus district — just minutes from this address — adds walkable dining and local character that newer suburbs rarely develop organically. City amenities, waterfront access, and quick interstate connections are all part of daily life here, making homes for sale in Hampton consistently attractive to buyers who want substance over flash.

What's nearby

Day-to-day errands are easy from 4001 Chesapeake Ave. A Dollar General is just 0.1 miles away for quick runs, and a Food Lion sits 0.3 miles out for a full grocery shop. When dinner is someone else's job, Vancosta's Pizza, No. 1 Kitchen, and America's Best Wings are all within 0.2 miles. A 7-Eleven is half a mile away for coffee and convenience. Green space is close too — Trimble Field (0.7 mi), Eason Park (0.8 mi), and a Public Overlook (0.8 mi) give you outdoor options without a long drive.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

NSA Hampton Roads is eight minutes away and MARFORCOM Norfolk is nine — this address puts you in one of the tightest commute windows in the region for both installations. The seven-bedroom footprint handles PCS moves with ease, giving every family member their own space. VA loan eligibility pairs well with a home this size, and the established neighborhood means you're buying into stability, not a transitional block.

For families upgrading

Families comparing homes for sale zoned for Phoebus High School and homes for sale zoned for Hunter B. Andrews PK-8 will find 4001 Chesapeake Ave sits squarely in that attendance zone corridor. Seven bedrooms means the home grows with your family rather than against it — dedicated rooms for studying, guests, and hobbies are all possible here without anyone feeling crowded. The lot, the square footage, and the address all point toward long-term roots.
