About this home

A rare opportunity to own a private waterfront retreat on sought-after Bennetts Creek. Surrounded by water on two sides and tucked away on two peaceful acres, this custom all-brick property offers exceptional privacy, direct boating access, flexible living space, and beautiful water views from nearly every gathering area. Offering approximately 4,700 square feet of finished living space, the property includes a spacious four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath main residence and a separate two-bedroom, two-bath guest apartment—providing six bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths in total. Designed primarily for comfortable one-level living, the main home features water views from the primary suite, living room, dining area, and kitchen. An attached two-car garage adds everyday convenience, while a walk-up attic offers generous storage and is already framed for potential future living space. Above the separate oversized two-car garage, an approximately 800-square-foot private apartment includes two bedrooms, two full baths, a kitchen, living area, vaulted ceilings, skylights, and its own waterfront deck. It is an ideal arrangement for extended family, guests, adult children, a private office, or multigenerational living. Outside, a large private pier with multiple boat slips places fishing, kayaking, boating, and waterfront relaxation just steps from your door. Begin the morning watching the sunrise over the creek, spend the afternoon on the water, and end the day enjoying peaceful views from the deck. With two waterfront acres, nearly 4,700 square feet of living space, six bedrooms, four garage bays, a private guest residence, and direct access to Bennetts Creek, this is far more than a home—it is a private waterfront lifestyle. Schedule your private tour and experience this exceptional property in person.

Why this home stands out

Six bedrooms and five full baths in a single-family home this size gives households real flexibility — space for a home office, a dedicated guest suite, or a multigenerational setup without anyone feeling squeezed. Built in 2005, the bones are solid and the footprint is genuinely generous. Add a half bath for guests, and you have a home that handles everyday life and company equally well. Among Suffolk homes for sale, a 4,688-square-foot layout at this address is a rare find.

BENNETTS HARBOR and the Suffolk real estate market

Bennetts Pasture Road sits in a quiet residential pocket of western Suffolk — a part of the city that trades urban density for elbow room, mature trees, and easy access to the water. Suffolk itself is one of the largest cities by land area in Virginia, which means you get a small-town pace without giving up city services or infrastructure. The 23435 zip code covers this stretch of the city and draws buyers who want space without a long commute. Families comparing homes for sale in Suffolk often land here once they discover how close the creek and park are. The surrounding streets have a settled, established feel — neighbors who know each other, sidewalks that actually get used, and a genuine sense of place that newer master-planned communities sometimes struggle to replicate.

What's nearby

Bennett's Creek Park and Boat Ramp is just 0.4 miles away — kayaks, fishing, and open water are practically in your backyard. For everyday errands, Food Lion is 0.9 miles out, so grocery runs stay quick. Dinner options are close too: Hong Kong Restaurant and Domino's Pizza are both under a mile, which covers everything from a sit-down weeknight meal to a Friday-night shortcut. The broader area gives you access to Route 17 and the Western Freeway, keeping you connected to the rest of Hampton Roads without fighting traffic through the tunnel.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

NSA Northwest Annex is 16 minutes away and Joint Staff J7 Suffolk is 20 minutes out — both well within a comfortable daily commute. Six bedrooms means there's always a dedicated workspace or a room for visiting family. If you're weighing a VA loan, this zip code and price range tend to work well within standard benefit tiers. Homes for sale in 23435 don't always offer this much square footage this close to two installations.

For families upgrading

When your current home has stopped keeping up with your family, 4,688 square feet and six bedrooms changes the math entirely. There's room for everyone to have their own space — and still have a guest room left over. Families comparing homes for sale zoned for Nansemond River High School and homes for sale zoned for Driver Elementary School will find that this address puts you squarely in that zone, in a neighborhood that already has the settled, rooted feel you're looking for.
