While it’s probably true that men and women look for different things when they’re building a home, or shopping for one, the house at 1321 Taft Road in Chesapeake offers plenty for both genders.
The house itself features a plethora of amenities: five bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and nearly 4,000 square feet of living space to go with 27 acres of land. But for men, it might be the large detached garage located at the back of the property that provides a “can’t miss” opportunity.
“This huge detached garage is two stories, with two tall vehicle doors and openers,” said Rachael Kraft Turner, the listing agent of the home and a Realtor with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services. “It could be used as a garage or a warehouse, and has a full bath and utility room with cabinets and countertops.”
A gravel lane leads to the back of the property and into the tree line behind the home, where the garage/warehouse sits among the trees.
“This structure would be perfect for a business such as a contractor or a builder, or for someone with a hobby like antique cars, or a woodworker,” Turner added.
She said the garage is large enough to store an RV, or boats, or trailers. There are covered areas on each side of the garage for additional protected storage space. The bathroom inside includes a utility sink, toilet, and a step-in shower, as well as its own septic system.
About five acres of land around the home are cleared, while the rest of the property is wooded.
Moreover, the home boasts an in-ground swimming pool with a large deck and surrounding patio, with the pool fenced for safety and to meet city guidelines.
There’s also a large two-car garage attached to the home. Above the garage is a finished room that leads to a loft that overlooks the home’s Great Room.
The home is served by Hickory Elementary and Middle School, and Grassfield High School.
