The story is that this home was built on Fisherman's Island in 1930 and used on the military installation for harbor defense during WWI and II. Before that the island was a quarantine station for European immigrants. When the military was finished occupying the island, this home was dismantled and then rebuilt in its present location sometime in the 1940's. Well-maintained and spotless, this home sits just up the road from the seaside coast of the Eastern Shore. The 30x40 garage is set up for a workshop or a mancave. In the back, there is a 12 x 30 apartment that is currently rented for $600/mo. Very close to Cape Charles and to the Bridge and Virginia Beach, yet a lifetime away. Other outbuilding is set up for generator (not included) to run whole house and garage. Big yard for your boats!
