This well-maintained home is an excellent fit for buyers who need room for vehicles, tools, hobbies, storage, a home business setup, or recreational equipment. In addition to the attached 1-car garage, the property offers an oversized detached 2-car garage with a finished second floor.

Inside, the kitchen features granite countertops, black stainless appliances, a breakfast bar, and an open connection to the great room for easy everyday living and entertaining. A formal dining room, first-floor flex room, full bath, and enlarged laundry room add valuable versatility. Upstairs, the spacious FROG serves as the fourth bedroom with a full bath nearby, while the primary suite includes a refreshed bath. Recent improvements include a Trane dual-zone Wi-Fi HVAC system approximately four months old, vinyl siding, metal exterior wrap, newer front and sliding rear doors, screened porch, LVP/laminate flooring, rear windows, and gutters. Natural gas serves the heat and hot water. Enjoy the large fenced backyard with a deck, screened porch/patio, and hot tub—plenty of room to relax, entertain, play, garden, or let pets roam. Convenient to I-664, military installations, tunnels, shopping, dining, and destinations throughout Hampton Roads.
Western Branch, located between the Elizabeth River and the Suffolk line, is a suburban and waterfront Chesapeake neighborhood with a wooded backdrop and a working-harbor edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Western Branch Boulevard and Portsmouth Boulevard corridor, where marinas, local diners, and everyday services line the drive. Brick colonials and ranch-style homes sit along curving streets, with pockets of newer builds near major arterials. The Western Branch Park area sets a relaxed, outdoors-forward rhythm with trails and open fields. Western Branch High School anchors local events and weekend traffic patterns. The nearby Western Branch Reservoir adds a quiet, reflective horizon to the landscape.
