Portsmouth, VA 23704
Description
Tucked along the quiet shoreline of Scott's Creek with direct access to the Elizabeth River, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath waterfront retreat has long been a home of substance and craftsmanship. Enter through a marble-floored foyer into hardwood floors underfoot throughout, an open-concept flow connecting den, kitchen, dining room, and living room, a fireplace anchoring the space, and a crystal chandelier lending quiet elegance to the dining room. The kitchen carries custom cabinetry and heated ceramic floors, while the finished lower level offers a private suite with its own bedroom, a walk-in shower bath, and a tiled reading room with its own outside entrance- a layout well suited to guests or multigenerational living. Outside, vinyl siding, a durable roofline, a whole-yard sprinkler system, a private boat house, and two finished sheds complete the grounds. Just moments from the marina, this is a rare offering of established waterfront character. Sold AS IS, WHERE IS.
