Sold. That porch! Five acres in Virginia. One mile from Hallieford Beach. Circa 1897. $275,000

I love that porch! Just one mile away from Hallieford Beach. This home was built in 1897. It is located on 4.97 acres in Cobbs Creek, Virginia in Mathews County. The home features a wrap around porch with gingerbread trim, baseboards, french doors and built-ins. If it were my house I would go in and try to undo some of the renovations. There is an enclosed porch and several outbuildings. Three bedrooms, four bathrooms and 2,246 square feet. $275,000

Daffodils, Camellias, Lenten Roses, Crepe Myrtles, Dogwoods and Climbing Roses make this one of the most beautiful yards in Mathews County in the spring. Downstairs is an office, formal living room with gas fireplace, dining room, eat-in kitchen, full bathroom, laundry room and a sunroom/screened-in porch. On second floor there’s a beautiful landing, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. On third floor there’s an expansive bonus room with half bathroom.
