Little England

Where Sarah's Creek meets the York River, this is the rare deep-water offering: 2.15 acres on a point with water views from every room, a 75-foot pier with power on the dock, and easy access to the Chesapeake Bay. The house was built in 2002 and sits inside its own lawn and oaks, on a lane named for Little England, the colonial plantation house that still stands on this stretch of the creek.

The floor plan is open and it flows. The foyer's curved stair hands you straight into a living room with a fireplace and glass on two sides, and from there into a chef's kitchen with an oversized granite island, peninsula seating, and a true butler's pantry with its own refrigeration. A dining bay, a billiards room with a bar, and the all-weather EZ-Breeze porch complete the main level, along with a primary suite with its own bath, the first of two.

Upstairs, the second primary suite has a fireplace, a wall of glass, and a covered balcony over the water; its bath sets a jetted tub beside the fireplace. Two more bedrooms, a shared bath, a second laundry room, and a vaulted rec room over the garage fill out the floor, and central vacuum runs throughout.

Outside is where this property earns its reputation. The full outdoor kitchen sits under the covered patio with propane sconces and a grill station set in brick, the patio is already wired for a hot tub, and a fire pit waits out on the lawn facing the creek. For cars and boats there are three-plus garage bays: an attached two-car garage and a detached garage with a conditioned bonus room above and plumbing roughed in for a bath. A whole-house generator keeps all of it running.

The water is the point of it all. Sarah's Creek carries deep water right to the platform, the crabbing and oystering here are the kind people talk about, and York River Yacht Haven, YROC Coastal Bar & Grill, and the historic Yorktown waterfront are minutes away by boat. I would love to show it to you.
