Middle Ground Lighthouse lies off of Newport News in Chesapeake Bay. Though built in 1891, it remains in nightly operation. Northern Virginia magazine reports that it's also been renovated and is available for sale as a functional house.
The residence is quite comfortable with air conditioning, propane heating, solar panels, a cistern for water, and a sewage system.
The current owners, the Gonsoulin and Billingsley families, purchased it in 2005 and renovated it over the years, doing most of the work themselves. The living space contains 1,100 square feet, though one of the owners quips that "none of the feet are square" due to the circular nature of the design.
