VIRGINIA BEACH — Lynnview Road leads away from the bustle of central Virginia Beach and toward the shores of the Lynnhaven River.
Lakes and estuaries trickle inland, and the shaded banks have attracted settlement for hundreds of years. At 2629 East Lake Drive on a lush 1.5 acre waterfront lot sits a unique ranch style home.
This 4-bedroom, 3-bath house is nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac and surrounded by towering pines. It has the peaceful appearance of a lake retreat.
With shingle siding in a warm golden tone, floor to ceiling windows throughout, and cheery white trim, the home looks as though it was plucked from the shores of a mountain lake.
The front of the home features a beautifully detailed garage door and an attractive red brick privacy wall. Framing the sides and back of the house grows vibrant ivy, shrubbery, and trees.
The back deck consists of two levels and is built in a mountain-style construction around a stately oak tree in the center.
The perimeter extends almost into the water, giving the space a secluded and tranquil atmosphere.
There is ample space for entertainment furnishings, and wide, built-in benches line the edges of the deck.
The living room adjacent to the back deck benefits from the same waterfront light via large sliding glass doors. This home was built in 1979 and still boasts its original gleaming hardwoods.
Flowing from the living room is a bright kitchen and formal dining room. The kitchen perpetuates the mountain feel with warm wooden cabinetry and a cozy breakfast nook.
The spacious master bedroom has several large windows with views of the water, as well access to the deck. Three other bedrooms and three full baths complete this family home.
It’s currently on the market. View the listing here.
