Why this home stands out
Homes built in 1895 with over 2,200 square feet don't come along often, and this one sits directly on Main Street in Smithfield's Historic District — meaning coffee, bakeries, boutiques, and the riverfront are all a short walk from your front door. You're not just buying a house; you're buying into a living, breathing piece of Virginia history with a walkability score that most of Isle of Wight County simply can't match.
ALL OTHERS AREA 65 and the Smithfield real estate market
Smithfield, Virginia is one of Hampton Roads' best-kept secrets — a compact, walkable town of genuine historic charm tucked along the Pagan River in Isle of Wight County. Main Street is the spine of it all, lined with 19th-century storefronts, locally owned restaurants, and a community that still gathers for festivals, farmers markets, and waterfront evenings. Visitors who discover Smithfield while browsing obx homes for sale often find themselves reconsidering — the town delivers that same unhurried, small-town-by-the-water feeling at a fraction of the distance from Hampton Roads' job centers. The Smithfield Historic District wraps around you here, and Riverview Park along the Pagan River is just a few blocks away. Isle of Wight County governs this address, which means a quieter jurisdiction with strong community identity. Whether you're drawn by the architecture, the walkable lifestyle, or the easy access to the broader Hampton Roads metro, 311 Main Street puts you at the center of everything Smithfield has to offer.
