404 Bracey Way is a five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home in Chesapeake, Virginia, offering 3,167 square feet of living space built in 1998. With two military installations close by and everyday essentials half a mile away, daily life here is genuinely convenient.
Five bedrooms and 3,167 square feet give 404 Bracey Way the kind of room that actually changes how a household functions — dedicated space for a home office, a guest suite, or a playroom without anyone feeling crowded. The half-bath adds practical flexibility for entertaining. Built in 1998, the home hits a sweet spot: old enough to have mature landscaping and an established feel, recent enough that the bones are solid and systems aren't ancient.
MARINERS POINTE and the Chesapeake real estate market
Chesapeake is one of the largest cities by land area on the entire East Coast, and that scale translates into something residents genuinely appreciate: room to breathe. The western side of Chesapeake — where 404 Bracey Way sits — is a quieter, more residential pocket of the city, with tree-lined streets and a suburban pace that still keeps you close to everything. Neighbors here tend to be long-term; the area has a settled, community-minded character rather than a transient one. Chesapeake consistently ranks among Virginia's safest and most livable cities, and the local infrastructure reflects that — well-maintained roads, accessible parks, and solid city services. Interstate 664 is nearby, which means downtown Norfolk, Suffolk, and Virginia Beach are all within a reasonable drive. For a city this size, it manages to feel genuinely local rather than sprawling and anonymous.
What's nearby
Everyday errands are practically effortless from Bracey Way. Publix Super Market at Dominion Station is just half a mile out, and a Walmart Supercenter is only 0.7 miles away — two solid grocery options within a five-minute drive. When you want a quick bite, Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen and Great Wall Chinese Food are both within half a mile. Fitness is well covered too: Anytime Fitness, Ascend Bungee Fitness, and Tidewater Jiu-Jitsu Academy are all clustered about 0.8 miles away, giving you real variety. Parkview Play Area is the same distance and makes for an easy afternoon outing. KENSLEY'S Açaí & Café rounds things out at 0.7 miles for a proper coffee stop.
For different buyers
Base commute and VA loan notes
USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is roughly nine minutes away, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is about thirteen — two major installations within easy commuting range. That kind of dual-base proximity matters when assignments shift or a spouse works at a different command. A VA loan can make financing a home this size more straightforward than many buyers expect, and five bedrooms handle PCS moves with family in tow without anyone feeling squeezed.
Room to grow
If your current home has started to feel like a game of spatial Tetris, 404 Bracey Way offers a genuine reset. Five bedrooms and 3,167 square feet mean every family member gets real, defined space — not just a corner of a shared room. The half-bath keeps morning routines from turning into a bottleneck, and the established Chesapeake neighborhood means you're trading up without trading away the community feel you already value.
