Why this home stands out
Homes from the early 1960s in this pocket of Virginia Beach tend to sit on generous lots with mature trees and solid construction bones — the kind of scale that newer tract neighborhoods rarely replicate. At 1,940 square feet across three bedrooms and two full baths, 5525 Hatteras Road offers real living space without the sprawl, in a part of the city that has quietly held its character for decades.
