Property Description

Elegant Private Retreat on 2.62 Acres ~ 132 Schooner Lane, Mathews, VA Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and reached by a long gravel driveway that cannot be seen from the road, this beautifully renovated home sits on 2.62 private acres, offering exceptional seclusion and modern comfort in historic Mathews County. One of Virginia's smallest and most charming coastal communities, Mathews was established in 1791 and named for Revolutionary War officer General Thomas Mathews.

The renovated kitchen is a true highlight, showcasing stylish new cabinets, high-end granite countertops, and quality appliances that make everyday cooking and entertaining a pleasure. Updated bathrooms complement the refreshed interior, delivering both function and style. Additional peace of mind comes with a newer 50-year roof complete with gutters and a Generac generator for reliable backup power. The private fourth bedroom, situated over the two-car garage, offers its own new flooring and convenient half bath ~ perfect as a guest suite, home office, or quiet retreat. Step outside to a large back deck ideal for relaxing or gathering with family and friends, all while enjoying the property's beautiful, mature landscaping. Best of all, this home does not require flood insurance.
