As of April 2025Welcome to 5540 Shell Road in the Lake Smith area of Virginia Beach, a beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom brick ranch nestled on a 1/3-acre lot surrounded by mature trees for added privacy with an attached one car garage and ample driveway spaces. This one-story home features a new roof (2022) and updated HVAC (heating & cooling) system (2022). Inside, you’ll find an open spacious and functional layout, for relaxation and entertaining. Kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Gorgeous hardwood floors throughout. Primary bedroom with full bathroom. Back of the home opens up to a wonderful 4-seasons room. Enjoy the convenience of single-level living in a peaceful setting, while still being near Shore Drive area shopping, dining, and military bases, as well as Norfolk Premium Outlets and Ikea. Only a quick stroll to Lake Lawson Nature reserve just down the street. Wonderful park and walking paths along the water with boat/kayak launch. So much to love about this home!
