About this home

The listing, in the seller's words

Welcome to your new home. Prepare for the breathtaking vistas that await you while sipping your morning coffee in the sunroom with a panoramic view of Knotts Island to the left and the serene Back Bay to the right or wake up each morning and step onto your private deck greeted by the same inspiring view. Inside, you will find a home designed for modern living. The remodeled kitchen and the new flooring throughout add a touch of elegance and comfort. With 5 spacious bedrooms, you have the flexibility to create the perfect space or add a dedicated home office, or recreational room. Don't miss the hidden potential on the 3rd floor - an unfinished area briming with possibilities. On the 1st floor, be sure to explore the expansive work area and storage space that stretches the entire length of the home. Finally unwind by the deepwater pond with relaxing swing and deck and enjoy the 1acre lot, with fruit trees, garden area and a walk-in chicken coop!

Our read on this home

by Tom & Dariya Milan, REALTORS® · LPT Realty

At a glance

4489 Catfish Road is a five-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in Virginia Beach's far-south corner, offering 2,700 square feet of living space built in 1990. With Dam Neck Annex just 20 minutes away and a generous floor plan, this address works hard for growing households.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Five bedrooms in a single-family home this size gives you real flexibility — a dedicated home office, a guest room, and still room for everyone. The 1990 build hits a sweet spot: old enough to have mature landscaping and settled character, recent enough to avoid the heaviest pre-modern renovation concerns. Catfish Road sits in one of Virginia Beach's quietest southern pockets, where the pace slows down without cutting you off from the city.

PUNGO and the Virginia Beach real estate market

Virginia Beach is the most populous city in Virginia, but its southern tip near the 23457 zip code tells a different story than the oceanfront boardwalk crowds. Out here the landscape opens up — you're closer to Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge than to any resort strip, and that shapes the whole feel of daily life. Streets are quieter, lots tend to run larger, and neighbors tend to put down roots. This corner of Virginia Beach attracts people who want space and a genuine sense of place rather than proximity to nightlife. The city still delivers everything you'd expect from a major coastal municipality — solid infrastructure, a wide range of dining and retail, and easy access to the broader Hampton Roads metro — but from Catfish Road, you get to enjoy all of that on your own terms.

What's nearby

Everyday errands are manageable from this address. Pungo, a small agricultural community just north, has a beloved farmers market that draws locals every Saturday in season. For larger grocery runs and retail, the Nimmo Parkway corridor and the general Virginia Beach area near Princess Anne Road put full-service options within a reasonable drive. Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge and False Cape State Park are practically neighbors — if hiking, kayaking, or wildlife watching are part of your lifestyle, you're positioned better than almost anyone in the city. The Atlantic Ocean beaches are roughly 30 minutes northeast, close enough for a day trip without being close enough to deal with tourist traffic year-round.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Dam Neck Annex is about 20 minutes up the road, and NAS Oceana sits roughly 24 minutes away — solid commute times for either installation. Five bedrooms means space for a home office when you're working from base housing isn't an option, plus room for family visiting during PCS transitions. A VA loan is a natural fit here, and the quiet southern Virginia Beach location tends to hold steady appeal across market cycles.

For families upgrading

If you've outgrown a three- or four-bedroom home, five bedrooms at 2,700 square feet gives everyone their own space without the sprawl of a much larger house to maintain. The southern Virginia Beach location puts you away from heavy traffic corridors, and the mature neighborhood character means you're buying into something established rather than a still-developing subdivision. There's room to grow here, and room to breathe.

More buyer questions

How far is 4489 Catfish Road from Dam Neck Annex?

Dam Neck Annex is approximately 20 minutes from this address under typical traffic conditions. The route generally follows back roads through the southern Virginia Beach corridor, avoiding most congestion.

How far is 4489 Catfish Road from NAS Oceana?

NAS Oceana is about 24 minutes away, making it a workable daily commute for personnel stationed there. The drive heads north through Virginia Beach toward the Dam Neck and London Bridge Road area.

What is the flood zone status for 4489 Catfish Road?

Flood zone information for this property is displayed in the FloodRisk tile on this page. Given the home's location in the far-south Virginia Beach area near Back Bay, reviewing that detail carefully is worthwhile.

Is there an HOA at 4489 Catfish Road?

HOA status for this property should be confirmed through current public records or disclosure documents, as community governance can change over time.

What is the lot and setting like at 4489 Catfish Road?

Catfish Road sits in a rural-feeling section of Virginia Beach near the Back Bay area, where lots tend to be generous and the surroundings feel more country than suburban. The 1990 build means the property has had time to mature landscaping-wise.
