About 1500 Chesapeake Ave
A rare opportunity to own one of Hampton's landmark waterfront estates overlooking Hampton Roads Harbor and the Chesapeake Bay. Originally built in 1900 by Hampton entrepreneur Captain John C. Robinson and formerly known as the Dorothy Rouse-Bottom Estate, this remarkable residence has been meticulously restored while preserving its timeless character. Offering nearly 8,000 square feet of living space, including a private guest suite above the detached garage, the home features 7 bedrooms, 6.5 baths, beautifully updated bathrooms, grand formal rooms, original moldings, stained glass, and five working fireplaces. The gourmet kitchen showcases an iconic Aga range, Smallbone English cabinetry, butler's pantry, and abundant natural light. A private waterfront fitness room, English-inspired gardens, commercial pier with covered Tidetamer boat lift and dual 10,000-lb. lifts, and an expansive covered porch with endless harbor views complete this extraordinary estate.
