Why this home stands out

This 1968 home delivers room to spread out across seven bedrooms and multiple bathrooms. The floor plan gives you flexibility—whether you need a home office, guest space, or workshop. At 3,898 square feet, there's genuine depth here. You'll find the bones are solid and the layout rewards those who want options. Daily life is easy: groceries and restaurants are a short walk away, and the military commute is quick.

MERRIMAC SHORES and the Hampton real estate market

You're in a residential area of Hampton where neighbors keep their properties well-maintained and streets feel stable. The block has that lived-in character—homes with real yards and driveways, not cramped. Hampton itself is a historic waterfront city with deep maritime roots and a strong military presence. Getting around is straightforward: major roads connect you to shopping, dining, and the bases without fuss. If you are comparing homes for sale in Hampton, note that this zip code offers solid value and a genuine sense of community. The city center sits about ten minutes south, where you'll find museums, restaurants, and the waterfront. Anyone comparing homes for sale zoned for Phoebus High School or homes for sale zoned for Hunter B. Andrews PK-8 will find options nearby.

What's nearby

You're steps from Dollar General and Food Lion for quick groceries. Vancosta's Pizza, No. 1 Kitchen, and America's Best Wings are all within a few blocks—perfect for weeknight dinners without the drive. A 7-Eleven sits about half a mile away if you need coffee or a quick stop. Parks are close too: Trimble Field, Eason Park, and Public Overlook are all under a mile, offering space to walk, play, or just breathe. Daily errands don't eat up your day here.

Room to grow
