Welcome to Little Key House, nestled in the heart of the historic, tiny waterfront town of Urbanna. Built in 1918 and retaining many of its original details while thoughtfully updated to enjoy the modern comforts of today, Little Key House offers 100-year-old oak floors, original wavy glass, gorgeous natural light and a fantastic kitchen with honed marble countertops, stainless appliances, vaulted ceilings, and french doors to the backyard. This inviting cottage with its own pool, spa and fenced yard is just blocks from parks, marinas, a public boat and kayak launch, 7+ restaurants, boutiques, groceries, museums, coffee shops and an inn, all just an hour drive to Richmond International Airport. Urbanna's convenience is exceptional, as is its history and friendliness. In the summer, hop on the town's trolley at the stop across the street or enjoy the brand new community pool only two blocks away; every November, sit in your front yard to watch the parades of the Urbanna Oyster Festival when more than 50,000 visitors descend on this tiny town. Urbanna is a golf cart town, so you'll find yourself leaving your car in the driveway.
Renovated in 2009 and 2021 as a family getaway, Little Key House (named for Key West) offers cozy gathering spaces yet flows for easy entertaining. Downstairs, the floor plan includes two living rooms, a bright side porch and a first floor bedroom with a built-in bed presently used for an office/den (the first floor full bath just steps away). Upstairs, the primary bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a claw-foot tub while the spacious bunk-room with built-ins adjoins an inviting sitting room with a barn door and sunny balcony overlooking the private pool, spa and garden. The original 1900's frame garage is nostalgic eye candy and perfect for water sport toys, kayaks, golf carts, bikes and additional storage. This one is special.
