Two homes. Endless possibilities. Tucked away on a 1.5-acre lot in the heart of Great Bridge, this rare property offers 5,633 SF across two beautifully updated homes great for multigenerational living, extended family, a home business, or potential rental income. The main home features 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a stunning kitchen with GE Café appliances, slate countertops, hand-painted cabinetry, reclaimed wood accents, and a custom bourbon bar great for entertaining. The detached guest house lives like its own residence with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, an office, and a 2-car garage. Enjoy a backyard retreat with a 35,000-gallon saltwater pool, new decking, screened porch, and lush landscaping. Tankless water heaters and a whole-house generator add peace of mind. Located in the sought-after Great Bridge school district.
Great Bridge, located between the Southern Branch Elizabeth River and the Dismal Swamp Canal, is a historic and suburban Chesapeake neighborhood with a waterfront corridor and a classic main-road commercial strip. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Battlefield Blvd S and Cedar Rd intersection, where local eateries, marinas, and everyday storefronts cluster in steady motion. Great Bridge Battlefield & Waterways History Foundation and the Great Bridge Lock Park set a heritage-and-water theme along the canal edge. Housing ranges from established brick colonials and ranch-style streets to newer subdivisions tucked behind tree lines. Side roads trace creeks and inlets, while Battlefield Boulevard keeps the pace practical. Parks and boat ramps add an outdoors-forward rhythm without leaving town.
