This is Coastal Virginia living at its finest! Perched high on the shores of the James River, this classic 1950-built colonial offers unobstructed breathtaking water views that change with each of Virginia’s four seasons. This is a unique opportunity to own what is already a charming, beautifully maintained classic Brandon Heights waterfront home with the option of building out a significant rear expansion as you wish. Complete architectural plans for the expansion by award-winning Virginia Beach-based architectural, interior design & visualization firm Covington Hendrix Anderson are on hand and will convey with the property. The expansion takes full advantage of water views and would put this property on par with some of the most upscale homes along this stretch of the James River. Properties like this are rare in Newport News. Lock into this amazing location and expand now or later!
