Waterview at Lightview
Named for its view from protected Davis Creek out to New Point Comfort Light, this long-standing light marks the intersect of Mobjack and Chesapeake Bays.
Located in the historical community of Gloucester County, Virginia, the 5+/- estate begins with a drive along a tree and daffodil lined, half mile private lane. Construction of the home began in the 1830’s, with a complete restoration and modernization occurring in 1983. Upgrades have been continually added.
“Lightview” was featured in the 2003 Virginia Garden Week.
Surrounded by beautifully landscaped lawns and gardens, including a 300 year old Pin Oak, the 5,500+ sq. ft., 3-story home features a 40’ foyer, Victorian gables, sun porches, and a square bay tower. From the second and third floor “tower rooms” enjoy stunning views of Davis Creek, Mobjack Bay & Chesapeake Bay. Contrasting harmoniously with the formal rooms are the modern, open-plan kitchen with breakfast area and brick-floored sunroom; step out of the sunroom onto a patio surrounding the in ground pool. The Master Suite features a bay window, walk-in closet and whirlpool bath.
Fifteen Rooms – Six bedrooms – Four full baths – Five fireplaces – 10’ ceilings.
Marvel at the gardens of Magnolia stellata, Hypericum, Oak Leaf Hydrangea, Japanese Maple, Wisteria, Roses, Lavender, Rosemary and hundreds of mature English Boxwoods.
