5 Distinctive Virginia Homes from Riverfront Floyd to Orange

Along the water’s edge in a peaceful bend of the Little River, this custom-built modern home brings Mid-Century Modern inspiration to a quietly remarkable corner of Floyd County. Built in 2015, the light-filled interiors are anchored by expansive windows that frame river views and surrounding nature, while quarter-sawn oak floors add warmth underfoot. Radiant floor heat pairs with active and passive solar for year-round comfort, and fiber internet supports an easy work-from-home rhythm. Outside, a well-established garden and chicken coop encourage a more self-sufficient daily pace. The thoughtfully designed lower level offers a private guest suite with kitchenette—ideal for hosting with a sense of separation. Set within the intentionally small Little River LTC, residents share trails, open space, a pick-your-own blueberry patch, and extensive river frontage across protected common land.

Set on 3.18 acres across two lots in Roanoke’s North County, this well cared for brick colonial farmhouse balances classic character with thoughtful updates. Hardwood floors and natural woodwork run throughout, complemented by a recently painted interior that now includes all hallways and closets. The kitchen is equipped with solid surface countertops, a pantry, and a new range and dishwasher. Gather in the large living room beside a gas log fireplace, or drift into the sunroom, dining room, and additional living areas for quieter moments. Updated windows and a new heating system—fully converted to natural gas with a new gas water heater—support everyday comfort, while bathrooms have been updated as well. Recent landscape work opens the massive rear yard, leading directly to a peaceful stream on Carvin Creek. A basement, large workshop, and an electrified storage building add welcome flexibility.

On a quiet cul-de-sac in Chatham Woods, this beautifully updated two-story residence balances everyday ease with outdoor-ready living. A charming wraparound porch sets the tone, while brand-new LVP flooring downstairs and fresh granite countertops bring a clean, current feel. The layout moves from a flexible living room—now a playroom—to a formal dining room, then into a spacious eat-in kitchen that opens to the family room and its cozy gas fireplace. From both the kitchen and family room, step onto a new 20×20 deck designed for easy entertaining, complete with solar deck lights. The fully fenced 0.37-acre yard adds garden space, a firepit area, and two sheds. An extended 2025 driveway with a 14-foot double vinyl gate supports RV or boat parking, plus a two-car garage—made for relaxed weekends at home.

A study in contemporary living, 216 Mayberry Court—built in 2017—pairs generous scale with a thoughtful, flexible layout in Newport News.

Stainless steel appliances, a central island, and a walk-in pantry keep the kitchen crisp and practical for everyday routines. Upstairs, the larger primary suite features two walk-in closets and a well-appointed bath with double sinks, a water closet, a shower, and a soaking tub. Three additional bedrooms, a loft, and a dedicated laundry room round out the second floor. Daily life stays connected to shopping, Langley AFB, Fort Eustis, and I-64.

From its elevated setting above a spacious, level lot, this brand-new split-foyer home frames meadow and mountain views from a 12×12 rear deck.
