About this property
2 Blocks to beach, Dog Friendly, Fenced Yard, Firepit, Fireplace,Renovated
Renovated, Historic home, located in downtown Cape Charles . Walk the 2 blocks to the Beach each morning, and evening to see the sun set over the horizon. This dog friendly home offers a great way to explore cape Charles and have fun each day at the beach. The fenced in back yard, offers privacy and a place for the dogs to play without worry. The home offers a propane fireplace in the living room, and a main level bedroom with a King bed and private bathroom. Fireplace is on Oct 1st to May 1st only. Do not use when a/c is on. Lots of parking out back -3 cars, so you aren't on the street. Entry thru backyard, with gate . You can park one or 2 cars out front , on the street. Enter thru back gate and backyard.
You must plug in your golf cart out back also, cord/plug runs along the fence now, yet you still need a 20 foot cord, they do have them at the rental places. Please Do not drive on the front lawn at all, with golf carts or anything, this is very expensive to repair and is not fair to the next guest, to have yard crew digging it up to replace it. Please note NO EV charging , at this home, even with regular plug, due to fire hazards . There is an EV station on Mason that you can go to .
Desk, with printer/ copier / scanner and fast wifi. The new furniture, renovations and new kitchen/baths with fresh paint are a welcoming site. New windows and doors, 2023, when it is not so hot or cold and you desire to open. New furniture, mattresses and more , 2022 and each year upgrading. 2024, new water lines, so water quality here is better than other homes.. Painted each year to help with inside when baggage hits those walls
Have fun in the firepit or the deck in the backyard . One area of sand and another of grass compliment the yard, with both sun and shade. Propane grill and picnic table as well. Fig trees, please eat, before the birds do. Rosemary, mint , basil , lavender and more are grown for your use. Some herbs may not be available, but lavender and mint are year round, and help control flies/mosquitos.
Privacy trees with lots of shade , for those pups and small ones.. Sun as well, but you have room to sit in the shade or the sun in the summer.
Home is located with the library behind it and Browns Ice Cream, ( this could be a great thing or a calamity, if your are trying to limit intake ) . You can walk to everything in the town from this home , even the Shanty Restaurant. Cape Charles offers music in the park or in town, each week with a different concert, in the summer ! Have fun with the locals and your family. Tennis courts in downtown Cape Charles in the park. December is beautiful with festivals each weekend in town.
Festive Fridays in December, starting Thanksgiving weekend- each Friday is a different theme. Come celebrate and shop with Mason Ave shut down , parades, music, Santa and more . Just walk out the back yard here and you will be in the middle of the festival !
Dogs allowed any size, and let us know quantity please. Fee per dog. Please note, dogs allowed before 9am on the beach from May to Labor Day. During the shoulder season, and winter , they can go all day, currently. Please pick up after your dog ,so we can remain dog friendly .
Please note: no events allowed or parties. The home is licensed for 9 occupants as per local and county laws total, children 3 and under are not counted.
This home has actually been dated back to 1800 to 1830, due to an old window, in the sunroom now, and the side windows near the front door. If that breaks-we discovered we have to order the glass out of Belgium currently. The glass dates to the Jeffersonian glass from his factory in Richmond that burned down in the 1830's .. and how do I know this ? As an architect with the AIA, I have had the historical chapters analyze the glass, trusses and more of the home . I work on the home slowly with experts. It is critical to preserve this home, it is one of the originals in town. The foundation was worked on 2023, so the floors are level now, the staircase yes is steep, however, no one can correct this without tearing down the home. As an architect and preservationist, this is one of those wonderful qualities of a home from 1800 to 1830. This home was built before the town was established. It is a great home, and I know the owner that grew up in this home , one of the original Cape Charles people left today. ( yes they grew up in the home in the 1940's on ). Their value added is wonderful, so we could take the home back correctly and understand the nuances.
Please note, there are flies, fruit flies, mosquitos, and perhaps some other insects flying in the yards and they do get in the homes, due to weather, surrounding area, and beach. The fig trees attract alot of these. We do have Terminix to assist with this control of these flies, outside and inside. They also offer a natural product. There are no refunds for flies/ fruit flies or any flying insect, we cannot control nature . These come every year- just use the replacement filters for the plug ins that are in the home, to assist with any entries. Best to cook all crab outside as well, since this also leaves an odor and attracts lots of flies.
