"Rockhaven", on the Hampton Riviera, the gracious historic waterfront stone mansion that inspired writer William Styron. What a sheltering safe space to ride out any and all kinds of storms and to celebrate the dolphin show outside your front door! Centrally located front and center on the James River (yet high enough that it is out of the flood plain). Near several universities, high tech center and military bases (6 miles to Langley AFB and 4 to the NN shipyard). Grand Tudor living room/salon, dining room with a huge table that easily seats 12 (what a conference space!) and intimate stone "snug" for cocktails. 3 gas fireplaces, 4 electric.
Whole house extra large Generac generator that comes on automatically at the first sign of power outage and is powerful enough to keep the AC running at full capacity even in 100+ degree days in August. Fabulous 5-6 bedrooms and 4.5 baths; bonus media room /library/office that doubles as a bedroom. Carriage house over heated garage with mini-split heating and a/c system has one of the bedrooms and a full bath and kitchen and its own washer dryer, makes a fabulous guest house or ideal home office, all in a 3/4 acre remote controlled electric-gated sanctuary. Master suite with room-sized walk-in closet with built-ins, jetted tub, separate shower, and king bed and private balcony, Master closet with laundry. Secondary laundry in basement with freezer.
