About this home

Historically known as "Cow-Town," this circa-1860 Eastern Shore home blends timeless character with inviting outdoor living. Situated on two lots totaling 1.19 acres, the property welcomes you with an expansive front porch and picket fence. Inside, original hardwood floors and doors, intricate moldings, and multiple fireplaces reflect its rich history. Featuring four bedrooms and two full baths, the home offers a first-floor primary bedroom, with three additional bedrooms and a full bath upstairs. The traditional layout provides a comfortable flow for everyday living and entertaining, complemented by an updated kitchen and enclosed back porch. Most fireplaces have gas inserts for supplemental warmth alongside the home's mini-split systems. Outside, a spacious gravel gathering area, fire pit, and small pond create an inviting setting for relaxed evenings and outdoor entertaining. A fenced garden area and mature plantings, including fruit and fig trees, add to the property's appeal. Updates to the roof, kitchen, and HVAC bring modern comfort to this historic home. All just a short golf cart ride from downtown Onancock's shops, restaurants, and waterfront. Five minute drive to Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital and forty-five minutes to Cape Charles.
