Property Description

Built to last and priced to move — this solid 1947 brick Cape Cod sits on a full acre of level ground in the heart of Mathews County, surrounded by open farm fields with the kind of quiet you have to leave a city to find. At just $1,162 a year in taxes with no HOA, the numbers make as much sense as the lifestyle. Step inside and you'll find original hardwood floors running through an airy, well-kept layout with two bedrooms on the main level and a flexible upstairs room ready to serve as your home office, studio, or guest retreat. The full windowed porch — the kind of room you'll live in from spring through fall — stretches the living space outside and frames farm field views that change with every season. The oversized detached garage and workshop has a bay ready for your car, or kayak — plus workspace for projects. An inground irrigation system keeps the grounds effortlessly maintained. Modern heat pump heating and 16+ SEER central air mean the mechanicals are ready to go. You're minutes from the beaches of Gwynn's Island, the Piankatank River, and Chesapeake Bay access for fishing, sailing, and paddling weekends. Gloucester's shops and restaurants are a short drive. Mathews village is right around the corner. No flood insurance required — FEMA Zone X. No HOA restrictions. Just a well-built brick home, a full acre, a screened porch, and everything you came here for.
