This home has actually been dated back to 1800 to 1830, due to an old window, in the sunroom now, and the side windows near the front door. If that breaks-we discovered we have to order the glass out of Belgium currently. The glass dates to the Jeffersonian glass from his factory in Richmond that burned down in the 1830's .. and how do I know this ? As an architect with the AIA, I have had the historical chapters analyze the glass, trusses and more of the home . I work on the home slowly with experts. It is critical to preserve this home, it is one of the originals in town. The foundation was worked on 2023, so the floors are level now, the staircase yes is steep, however, no one can correct this without tearing down the home. As an architect and preservationist, this is one of those wonderful qualities of a home from 1800 to 1830. This home was built before the town was established.
It is a great home, and I know the owner that grew up in this home , one of the original Cape Charles people left today. ( yes they grew up in the home in the 1940's on ). Their value added is wonderful, so we could take the home back correctly and understand the nuances.

Please note, there are flies, fruit flies, mosquitos, and perhaps some other insects flying in the yards and they do get in the homes, due to weather, surrounding area, and beach. The fig trees attract alot of these. We do have Terminix to assist with this control of these flies, outside and inside. They also offer a natural product. There are no refunds for flies/ fruit flies or any flying insect, we cannot control nature . These come every year- just use the replacement filters for the plug ins that are in the home, to assist with any entries.
Best to cook all crab outside as well, since this also leaves an odor and attracts lots of flies.
