Why this home stands out
Properties like 988 Michaelwood Drive don't come along often. You're looking at 4,578 square feet of living space on nearly two acres inside Virginia Beach city limits — a combination that's genuinely hard to find. The 1910 construction date gives this home more than a century of architectural character, and the seven-bedroom layout means there's room for extended family, a home office, a gym, or whatever your life actually calls for.
LITTLE NECK COVE and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Little Neck Cove sits in the heart of Virginia Beach's established North End corridor, where mature tree canopies line quiet residential streets and neighbors tend to stay for decades. The area has a distinctly unhurried feel — large lots, older homes with real bones, and a community identity that predates the city's rapid postwar growth. If you've been searching terms like 'siebert realty va beach va' while researching this part of town, you already know how rarely oversized properties surface here. Virginia Beach as a city wraps around you with every convenience — shopping, dining, and the oceanfront — while Little Neck Cove itself keeps things calm and spacious. The surrounding streets are walkable to green space, and the broader neighborhood draws people who want room to breathe without trading away urban access. At 1.65 acres, 988 Michaelwood Drive represents one of the larger residential parcels in this zip code, making it a standout even within a neighborhood already known for generous lot sizes.
What's nearby
Step outside and you're genuinely close to a lot. Little Neck Park and Kings Grant Park are both within 0.6 miles — easy walking or a quick bike ride for morning runs or weekend afternoons with kids. Brill Field, another green space, is just 0.8 miles away, adding even more outdoor options to your daily rotation. When you're ready to eat, Raised & Braised is right at 0.6 miles — a local spot worth knowing. The combination of multiple parks within a half-mile radius and a walkable restaurant makes daily life here feel unusually convenient for a property sitting on nearly two acres.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is nine minutes away, and NAS Oceana is ten — two major installations within a short commute of the same address. For a military family weighing BAH against housing costs, a seven-bedroom home on 1.65 acres gives you real flexibility: space for family visits, a dedicated workspace, or a roommate arrangement that helps offset expenses. A VA loan could make this historic property more accessible than you'd expect.
For buyers drawn to character
If you've grown tired of subdivisions where every house looks like its neighbor, 988 Michaelwood Drive is a different conversation. A home built in 1910 carries details you simply can't replicate — proportions, craftsmanship, and a sense of permanence that newer construction rarely achieves. Pair that with nearly two acres in an established Virginia Beach neighborhood and you have something genuinely rare: a property with a story already written, waiting for its next chapter.

About buying in Virginia Beach
Homes for sale in Virginia Beach, VA span every price point and lifestyle — from oceanfront condos along the famous Boardwalk to sprawling waterfront estates on the Lynnhaven River and Linkhorn Bay. As the largest city in Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach offers an unusually varied real estate market: established family neighborhoods in Great Neck (ZIP 23454), golf-course communities in Kempsville (23464), modern townhomes near Town Center (23462), and beach-cottage living along Sandbridge (23456). Whether you're searching for a starter home under $300K, a family home in a top-rated school district, or a luxury property north of $2 million, the active MLS inventory updates daily here. Buyer demand stays strong year-round, driven by Virginia Beach's mild coastal climate, the consistently top-ranked Virginia Beach City Public Schools (Kempsville High, Floyd E. Kellam High, Princess Anne High, and Cox High among them), and the city's role as home to Naval Air Station Oceana — the largest master jet base in the country. Military families relocating here through PCS orders make up a meaningful share of buyers, and VA loan financing is widely used. First-time buyers gravitate toward the inland ZIPs (23464, 23456, 23452), while second-home and luxury buyers tend toward 23451 (Oceanfront/North End) and 23454 (Great Neck/Bay Colony).
