The lawn gently sweeps down to the waterfront and the deep-water dock. The home, with its southern exposure, overlooks the Onancock Harbor where sailboats and yachts anchor. The Onancock town dock is only a 2 minute drive.
As you walk in the main entrance, you’re treated to a center hall that flows to the back porch. Your eyes are immediately drawn to the many custom features in the home. Wide crown moldings, chair rail, fluted door trims raised paneling and heart pine floors. Three fireplaces. A huge living room, dining room, chef’s kitchen, paneled family room.
A later addition off the library features a master suite with built-ins, closets and a large bath with walk-in shower.
Upstairs is an original master suite with his and hers closets, a sitting room, a huge walk-in closet and a very large private bath that is to die for. Across the upstairs landing are 2 additional guest bedrooms, each with a private bath. Large, floored walk-up attic.
