Why this home stands out
Garnetts Watch is a compact, well-kept community tucked into the heart of the 23462 zip code, and 5301 Chalet Place sits right in the middle of it. The 2010 construction means you get a modern floor plan — open where it counts, private where you need it — without the quirks of an older build. Three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and 1,619 square feet give a household real room to breathe, and the nine-minute drive to JEB Little Creek-Fort Story makes daily commuting genuinely painless.
