306 BAY AVE, Cape Charles, VA 23310

THE CROWN JEWEL OF BAY AVENUE: A Modernized 3.5-Lot Legacy Estate overlooking the Chesapeake Bay and Cape Charles beach. Experience "Bayholme," a 1914 brick masterpiece that stands as the most significant residential offering in the history of Cape Charles.

Situated on an unprecedented 3.5 lots-nearly double the land of neighboring estates-this property offers a level of privacy, scale, and modern infrastructure that is simply impossible to replicate. A MASTERCLASS IN HISTORIC LUXURY From the iconic columns-restored with custom mahogany bases (2017)-to the 900+ sq.

ft. wrap-around porch, Bayholme commands attention. Inside, 10.5-foot ceilings, original pocket doors, and a grand foyer staircase anchor the home. The main level features a forward-thinking open flow designed for grand-scale entertaining, featuring a formal dining room, cocktail lounge with gas fireplace, a designer guest powder room, and a sun-drenched family room.

Architectural integrity is preserved with a slate roof, copper gutters, and updated double-pane windows. CHEF'S KITCHEN & HOSPITALITY PANTRY Reimagined for the modern host (2023-2025), the kitchen features Quartz counters, floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry, a 42" SubZero refrigerator, and Miele dishwasher.

The 2023 Hospitality Pantry features black marble, a large sink, custom cabinetry, and wine refrigeration. Off the kitchen, a cozy back porch leads to the fenced-in backyard, creating a seamless transition to the outdoor oasis. THE SECOND LEVEL & SPA-PRIMARY SUITE The second floor features five generous bedrooms and the home's second private balcony overlooking the Bay.

The Primary Suite is a true sanctuary, featuring custom built-ins and a decorative original fireplace. The 2018 Primary Spa renovation is a masterpiece of design, offering heated floors and shower seating, an ADA-compliant shower with spray system, a freestanding soaking tub, custom cabinetry, and a premium Toto heated bidet.

THE PENTHOUSE SANCTUARY (3RD FLOOR) The entire 3rd floor is a 5-star destination featuring a high-end home theater (2023 system), a full kitchenette, gym/office, and a full bath with a Jacuzzi. This level maximizes guest capacity with custom window-seat beds and leads to the highest private balcony on Bay Avenue for unobstructed sunset views.

SUPERIOR INFRASTRUCTURE & PEACE OF MIND ELECTRICAL: Heavily updated with modern Romex wiring in all high-load areas (Kitchen, 3rd Floor, Primary Suite, and Garage). HVAC: 3 high-capacity heat pumps (1st floor NEW July 2025) plus a NEW 2026 propane furnace.

MASSIVE BASEMENT: One of the home's greatest assets is the expansive, full-footprint basement. Comprising four large rooms with professional storage shelving, it is a storage powerhouse. The basement is equipped with dual sump pumps and a dedicated dehumidifier for total peace of mind.

A service stairwell off the pantry leads to a direct-access door to the backyard, creating a perfect "mudroom flow" for beach gear and pets. ESTATE GROUNDS, PARKING & OUTDOOR OASIS Directly across from the beach, the 3.5-lot grounds feature a comprehensive exterior French drain system.

The estate includes a private well and Rain Bird irrigation for curated native gardens. The private backyard is an entertainer's dream, featuring brick patios, an Ipe deck, and a luxury outdoor shower with hot/cold water. Storage and parking are unrivaled: an epic 10+ vehicle driveway leads to a detached 2-car garage with rear alley access for golf cart, a massive 10'x20' workshop/kayak storage, and a hard-wired Tesla Charger.
