Description

The Maria Robbins Home, circa 1799, is a piece of the Eastern Shore’s story in historic Eastville. Built in 1799 and documented in Whitelaw’s history of Virginia’s Eastern Shore, this home carries more than two centuries of character — and thanks to thoughtful modern updates, all the comfort you need to live and entertain beautifully today. Step inside and the craftsmanship speaks for itself: handsome heart pine floors, rich moldings, classic fireplaces, and a graceful staircase set the tone throughout. Generously sized rooms are filled with natural light, giving this true family home the kind of easy, welcoming flow you rarely find. Four bedrooms, three full baths, and two versatile bonus rooms leave room for everyone and every need — home offices, a nursery, a guest suite, a studio, or whatever life calls for. At the heart of the home, the kitchen blends warmth and function with handsome pine cabinetry, quartz countertops, a professional 6-burner dual-fuel KitchenAid range, stainless steel appliances, and an abundance of storage. A sunny eat-in area, spacious living and dining rooms, and an enclosed front porch invite gathering and lingering, while a full cellar and attic add even more room to grow. Behind all that timeless charm, the home has been meticulously maintained, with two-zone HVAC installed in 2021 and windows replaced within the last five years — historic soul with modern efficiency. Outside, a full acre of beautifully landscaped grounds unfolds in a peaceful, rural setting. A driveway leads back to an 18′ x 33′ above-ground heated pool wrapped in a stunning Trex deck added in 2023, turning summer into a season-long escape. Four fully electrified outbuildings make this property truly one of a kind: a complete bath house with indoor shower, sink, and toilet; a two-bay boat shed; and a large workshop with built-in workbenches. A two-opening lean-to with a concrete floor comes ready for outdoor entertaining, complete with grill, smoker, refrigerator, and furniture. All of this sits in the walkable, welcoming town of Eastville — convenient to the health center and schools, and just minutes from the beaches and the shops, dining, and marina of Cape Charles. Best of all, you get the beauty and pedigree of a historic home with none of the usual limitations: no HOA and no historic board restrictions. Two centuries of history, every modern comfort, and a rare opportunity on Virginia’s Eastern Shore.
