VIRGINIA BEACH — What are the benefits of living in a home in a quiet area, one that has a big back yard offering tranquil views of trees, water, and sky?
For one, how about a great opportunity to relieve some stress.
According to the American Psychological Association, everyone deals with a certain amount of stress, created by the demands of our job, paying bills, traffic, and any other number of factors.
Stress itself is bad for human health: Headaches, chest pain, fatigue, sleep troubles, and depression are just a few of the negative effects of stress.
One of the best ways to combat stress is living in a home that provides an outlet for relieving the pressure that accumulates during the long work day.
Located in Courthouse Estates in Virginia Beach, 2577 Pamlico Loop offers that unique outlet – and then some.
Anna Paduhovich, a realtor with Rose and Womble Realty and the property’s listing agent, said the home provides plenty of ways to relieve stress, including a shaded backyard swing that overlooks, well, nothing but nature.
But if sitting quietly in a swing watching the birds and butterflies while contemplating life isn’t your idea of stress relief, there are other options.
“Yes, the backyard is lovely and quiet, and you can even fish back there if you want, but it’s also perfect for entertaining in the cool breezes and lovely serene views of the water,” she said, adding that there’s plenty of room for the kids to run and play in the fenced-in space.
If working with your hands is an ideal stress reliever, there’s plenty of space for a small garden or for adding additional landscaping, while a small outbuilding provides space for storage of gardening and landscaping tools.
If doing something inside sounds more appealing, Paduhovich said a finished room over the garage would make a great workout room – or a playroom for the kids if getting them out of your hair is even better for relieving stress.
The 2,450 square foot home is served by North Landing Elementary, Landstown Middle, and Kellam High School.
