PRICE IMPROVEMENT - Offered below appraised value! A rare opportunity to own a beautifully renovated historic schoolhouse with 5,665 sq ft, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and 1 private acre. Originally built more than 100 years ago as a local schoolhouse, this truly unique property was extensively rebuilt and renovated approximately 20 years ago while thoughtfully preserving its historic character. The original foundation, two exposed brick walls at the entry, and original schoolhouse window above the front door remain, creating an unforgettable blend of history and modern living. The spacious 1st floor features all 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and the main living areas, plus 10' ceilings for an open, comfortable feel. Upstairs is an incredible entertainment retreat with cathedral ceilings, custom built-ins, and surround sound - great for movie nights, game days, entertaining, or relaxing. The 2nd floor also provides access to a finished room over the garage with endless possibilities for a home office, gym, craft room, playroom, guest space, or hobby area. The attached 20' x 44' two-car garage offers generous workshop space for projects, storage, and additional workspace, with potential for a drive-through garage. Outside, enjoy peaceful country living on a private 1-acre lot with wooded privacy behind the home and scenic farmland views across the road. Conveniently located just 12 minutes from Rte 58 with easy access to shopping, restaurants, medical facilities, and everyday amenities. If you’ve been searching for a spacious renovated historic home with acreage, exceptional entertaining spaces, flexible living options, and a story unlike any other, this one-of-a-kind property is ready to welcome you home.
Holy Neck, located between the Nansemond River and Sleepy Hole Road, is a waterfront and rural Suffolk neighborhood with broad marsh views and winding two-lane roads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the bend where Sleepy Hole Road meets Holy Neck Road, where boat trailers, mailboxes, and tree-lined shoulders set a working-waterfront tone. Architecture leans toward detached homes on larger lots, with docks and screened porches oriented to the river breeze. Kayaks and small skiffs share the shoreline with tidal creeks and pine stands. Daily rhythms track the water, with sunrise light over the marsh and quiet evenings broken by passing boats.
