307 55th Street – A Custom North End Paradise

No two homes are the same in the North End, and the residence at 307 55th Street is a one-of-a-kind kind of home in a very good way. Built in 1948 this home is technically three-in-one with the main house, a carriage house, and a third structure with a wood-burning stove that’s large enough to use as an office or studio. Let’s step inside and take a tour of each residence. 

The Main House 

307 55th Street is built for comfort and relaxation. With its open layout that allows residents or guests to continue conversations easily from room to room, this home is an entertainer’s dream. Coming up the expansive driveway, you’re greeted with mature, lush landscaping that gives the home a sense of respite and privacy. The front patio gives so much character and charm, imagine starting your day here overlooking your beautiful yard and listening to birds chirping and gentle rolling of waves. 


As we make our way around the front of the house, the open floor plan presents itself with the living room, kitchen, and dining room effortlessly flowing into one another. The kitchen, equipped with stainless steel appliances and a gas range has everything one would need to create a memorable meal, or just reheat some takeaway and capitalize on the relaxing aura this home offers. 

The Carriage House 

As if the expanse of the primary residence isn’t enough for you, the carriage house is sizable, boasting two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and its own private entry and parking on Dawson Road without interrupting the main home. This setup would be ideal for multigenerational living or for those looking to capitalize on rental income.

The Third House 

If having room to roam in houses one and two wasn’t enough, there is a third structure on the lot. What may look small is mighty! Original to the property and comes with a wood-burning stove, this is the ideal size for a home office, hobby shed, studio, or a deluxe playhouse for little ones; the possibilities are endless. 


307 55th Street is truly one of the more unique properties of the North End. What makes this interesting is the potential to grow and the massive size and layout of the lot. There are endless opportunities with this Virginia Beach home and we are confident that the next owner will dive in to make it their own.
