Mid-Century Brick Ranch on a Rare 0.57-Acre Parcel
This mid-century brick ranch sits on a surprisingly generous 0.57-acre lot at 2500 Pocoshock Place — a quiet block in Pocoshock Hills where large yards are increasingly rare. The single-story footprint (approximately 1,008 SF) is straightforward and honest: two bedrooms, one full bath, original hardwood flooring, and a layout that invites thoughtful updating or a modest addition. For buyers envisioning more space, the lot depth and R7 zoning present real possibilities for expansion or an accessory dwelling unit subject to approvals.
Inside, the home retains classic details from its 1955 construction: brick exterior, warm hardwoods underfoot, and a compact footprint that makes maintenance simple. Mechanical systems are traditional — hot-air oil heating and a composition roof — and will benefit from standard inspections and potential updates. There is no central AC and the house sits on a septic system; these are called out for clarity and are common in established neighborhoods here.
Outside, the property’s level topography and long frontage on Pocoshock Place create a flexible outdoor canvas: room for a gardener’s beds, a play lawn, or a workshop/garage addition. Driveway parking serves daily needs and mature trees provide a sense of privacy from the street. The site’s scale—over 24,800 SF—sets this parcel apart from many nearby infill lots and is the primary reason buyers are drawn to this address.
Location-wise this is a convenient North Chesterfield position: under three miles to Meadowbrook Country Club, roughly 2.5 miles to Chippenham Hospital, and straightforward access to Pocoshock Boulevard for quick commutes. Local schools (A M Davis Elementary, Providence Middle, Monacan High) are nearby; families weighing school options may also consider private alternatives. With recent comparable sales in the neighborhood and an estimated market value near $240,000, this house offers immediate livability with clear upside for renovation-minded buyers or investors seeking a rental in an area with solid demand.
