Historic Waterfront Home - Sleeps 10 - Walk to Downtown Hampton

Experience the charm of a beautifully restored historic waterfront home in the heart of Historic Downtown Hampton. Built in the late 1800s and thoughtfully updated with modern comforts, our spacious home offers the perfect blend of history, character, and convenience for families, friends, military families, business travelers, and vacationers.

Plenty of Room for Everyone

With five bedrooms, two full bathrooms, spacious gathering areas, and parking for up to five vehicles, everyone has room to spread out and relax.

• 3 bedrooms on the second floor

• 1 finished attic bedroom on the third floor

The large living room and dining room make it easy for everyone to gather while still providing plenty of personal space.

Outdoor Living

One of our guests' favorite features is the oversized front porch.

The fenced backyard offers additional space for children to play, outdoor games, stretching, yoga, or simply enjoying the peaceful waterfront setting from the deck and pergola.
