What the owner loves about this home
What I love most about this home is the feeling of peace and connection to nature that you experience the moment you arrive. From the expansive, unobstructed water views to the ever-changing light across the Chesapeake Bay and Onancock Creek, it’s simply breathtaking. Whether you’re watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee or taking in a glowing sunset over the water, every day feels like a retreat.
This home is truly one-of-a-kind — thoughtfully updated with a timeless coastal design, and perfectly positioned at the mouth of the creek where you get both calm creekside serenity and wide open bay views. The newly completed vinyl bulkhead adds lasting value and utility, making it ideal for boating, crabbing, fishing, or simply relaxing by the water.
What makes it even more special is the lifestyle it offers. This is a boater’s and fisherman’s paradise, with barrier islands, sandbars, and miles of shoreline to explore just minutes from your back steps. The area is teeming with wildlife — ospreys, eagles, herons — and the natural beauty is unmatched. It’s the kind of place where families unplug, kids grow up playing in the water, and memories are made year after year.
The setting is peaceful and private, yet close to the charming town of Onancock, with its quaint shops, dining, and arts scene. It offers that perfect balance between coastal escape and small-town charm.
This home isn’t just a property — it’s a lifestyle, a sanctuary, and a rare opportunity to own a true waterfront treasure.
