About this home

There is something incredibly special about a home with a story, and this circa 1950 Waterman's Cottage in Hacksneck, VA, has a beautiful one waiting for its next chapter. This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom fixer-upper presents a wonderful opportunity to design your ideal coastal retreat. Nestled on a generous 1.5 acres that conveys with the property, the home has been thoughtfully raised on a sturdy 10-block foundation. This elevation not only keeps the home safely perched above flood elevations, but it also creates ample storage underneath for all your tools, kayaks, and outdoor gear. Step outside onto the expansive deck that encompasses the home; the perfect spot to start your day. In the evenings, you can unwind in the hot tub while taking in tranquil, sweeping views of the Chesapeake Bay tributaries. Inside, the layout offers a cozy sitting room ready to be brought back to life, along with two spacious bedrooms and a full bath. The fully equipped kitchen flows seamlessly into a dining room that is perfectly sized to entertain a crowd. It is easy to picture a long farmhouse table filled with friends, family, and fresh local seafood. The home also features a full attic ready for your creative vision and efficient Rinnai heating to keep things comfortable year-round. What makes this property truly unique is its deep connection to the local heritage. For well over a century, this neighborhood has been a beloved haven for crabbers. It is a quiet community of independent folks living in an eclectic mix of architectural styles, all sharing a deep respect for privacy and a love for the water. Located on a peaceful dead-end street that leads right down to the water, you are perfectly positioned to drop a hook or toss a line for crabbing anytime you please. With a little vision and some hard work, this waterside cottage is a fantastic canvas just waiting to be restored. Priced to sell, this property is being offered "as-is/where-is," presenting an incredible opportunity to breathe new life into a classic coastal gem. Call today for your private showing
