Why this home stands out
Most homes in Cape Charles top out at three or four bedrooms — 727 Tazewell Avenue offers six. Built in 2016, the home brings contemporary construction standards to a Victorian-era streetscape, meaning you get solid bones, modern systems, and generous room counts without the renovation surprises that come with the town's older stock. Four and a half baths across 3,956 square feet means nobody is waiting in line.
About the Cape Charles real estate market
Cape Charles is a small, walkable town on Virginia's Eastern Shore — the kind of place where the main street still has an independent bookshop, a yoga studio, and a coffee house within a few blocks of each other. The historic district was platted in the 1880s as a railroad terminus, and the tree-lined grid of streets has held its character ever since. 727 Tazewell Avenue sits squarely inside that grid, putting you within easy reach of the town beach, the harbor, and the boutiques and restaurants along Mason Avenue. Cape Charles sits in Northampton County and draws a mix of full-time residents, remote workers, and weekend visitors who discovered the town and decided to stay. The broader Eastern Shore lifestyle — barrier islands, farm stands, quiet two-lane roads — is right outside the door, while the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel connects you to Virginia Beach and the Hampton Roads metro in roughly an hour.
