Why this home stands out
Built in 2026, this home delivers the kind of clean slate that older neighborhoods simply can't match — no deferred maintenance, no outdated systems, no compromises. You get a full 2,287 square feet of thoughtfully laid-out living space on a generous quarter-acre lot, all within a cohesive new-construction community in Chesapeake. The half-bath adds everyday practicality that two-bath floor plans often lack, and the lot size gives you genuine outdoor breathing room.
