Set in the highly desirable and tranquil Lake Smith Terrace community, this modern home has been set apart with an eye on quality, value, and uniqueness through a clever revitalizing of this mid-century modern home. Design began with a clear mantra: do it better, do it differently. The airy reinvented kitchen was crowned with high end SS appliances including a premium KitchenAid gas range with exterior venting hood, Jade white quartz counters, soft-close cabinets, open bar top seating, and a classic, oversized subway tile backsplash. Motion sensing under-cabinet lighting creates efficiency and mood. Bathrooms are new from top to bottom, from vanities to lighting to ceramics. Upon entering the home the concept of en filade gives you several unique vantage points: At the entryway, peer all the way through to the family room where the mood is set by glowing gas fire logs in a familial setting. Or peer straight ahead through the new French doors out onto the gazebo that overlooks a manicured lawn set on a shaded Trex deck. To the right, the formal living room is private & calm swaddled by natural light through the picture windows. Nearly everything is NEW, from many replacement windows, gazebo roof, 6" gutters, premium SW paint in a faint blue palette; high-end brushed bronze lighting & plumbing fixtures, new LVP flooring & ceramic tile. For added comfort and confidence, a newer 12 kw Briggs & Stratton generator is ready to jump in if power goes out. New sewer lines, crawl space 10 mm vapor barrier, and whole house dehumidifier keeps things neat and tidy below. Drop down attic stairs in the garage for storing the bulky items. New insulation blown in for added comfort. The location makes life convenient: Harris Teeter, ChicfilA .5 mile away. Sentara Independence hospital less than 1 mile. Town Center is 6 minutes even if you hit a few red lights. Need coffee? 3 blocks. MacDonald Garden Center 4 blocks away. With great neighbors, perfect location, and a neighborhood that is filled with dog walkers, bikes & tikes this home is one reason why Va Beach is great.

Residential District
The purpose of the Residential Districts is to provide areas for residential housing types at a variety of densities, provide for harmonious neighborhoods located so as to create compatibility and to provide for certain other necessary and related uses within residential communities but limited as to maintain neighborhood compatibility. The R-40, R-30 and R-20 Residential Districts provide for larger minimum lot sizes for use in areas where lower residential densities are necessary to address environmental and public facilities constraints as recommended by the comprehensive plan. The R-15, R-10 and R-7.5 Residential Districts provide for medium density single-family residential development in areas where these densities are recommended by the comprehensive plan. The R-5D Residential Duplex District is created in recognition of the existence of developed areas where single-family and semidetached dwellings exist on lots averaging five thousand square feet in area and where duplexes exist on lots of ten thousand square feet in area. It is not the intention to create additional R-5D Districts or to enlarge the limits of existing R-5D Districts. The R-5R Residential Resort District is created in recognition of the existence of developed areas where single-family and duplex dwellings exist on lots of less than seven thousand five hundred square feet of area and where the character of the neighborhood includes both permanent yearround residents as well as seasonal residents. It is not the intention to create additional R-5R Districts or to enlarge the limits of existing R-5R Districts. The R-5S Residential Single-Family District is created in recognition of the existence of developed areas where single-family dwellings exist on lots with fifty- and sixty-foot frontages. It is not the intention to create additional R-5S Districts or to enlarge the limits of existing R-5S Districts. The R-2.5 Residential Townhouse District provides for the development of residential townho
