About this home

LIVE YOUR BEACH DREAMS! Enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the Chesapeake Bay or unwinding after work with a drink on your incredible 50-foot wraparound deck. Spanning the entire back and side of the condo and accessible from every room, this outdoor space gives you a front-row seat to beautiful sunrises, breathtaking Bay views, and—if you're lucky—even dolphins swimming by. When you're ready to put your toes in the sand, simply head downstairs, cross the dune, and you're there. Whether it's a morning swim, an afternoon on the sand, or an evening walk along the shoreline, bayfront living doesn't get more convenient than this. If you can pull yourself away from the beach and the view, step inside to your freshly renovated 2-bed, 2-bath home. This second-story unit offers added privacy. Both bedrooms and the main living area feature doors opening directly onto the wraparound deck. Don't miss this opportunity to make the beach lifestyle a reality - come experience the view for yourself!

Tom & Dariya's overview

Our read on this home

by Tom & Dariya Milan, REALTORS® · Brokered by LPT Realty

At a glance

Two-bedroom, two-bath home on a quiet Ocean View block steps from the beach. Built in 1986, it sits about seven minutes from Naval Station Norfolk. Daily life here means easy access to water, nearby shops, and a walkable neighborhood rhythm.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

This 1,275-square-foot home sits on one of Norfolk's most water-rich blocks. You're steps from Doc's Beach and Community Beach Park, with the Chesapeake Bay's energy woven into the neighborhood fabric. The two-bedroom layout and updated bathrooms suit buyers looking for a compact, low-maintenance footprint without sacrificing location or character.

OCEAN VIEW and the Norfolk real estate market

East Ocean View is a historic waterfront neighborhood where tree-lined streets meet bay access. The blocks here are tight-knit, with older homes and a strong sense of place. You'll find a mix of longtime residents and newcomers drawn to the water views and proximity to downtown Norfolk. The area has a working-waterfront feel—fishing piers, boat launches, and casual dining spots dot the shoreline. Anyone comparing homes for sale in 23503 will notice the neighborhood's walkability and the way water access shapes daily life. Norfolk itself is a major naval hub with deep roots in maritime history. Getting around is straightforward: interstates connect you to Virginia Beach and beyond, while local roads keep you close to Naval Station Norfolk and the downtown core.

What's nearby

You're a short walk to Doc's Beach and Community Beach Park, both under a tenth of a mile away. Lake Modoc sits just three blocks south. For groceries, Joan Brant is a quarter-mile away, with Harris Teeter and Tienda Latina La Tapatia 3 within a mile. Quick meals are steps away—BIG BOSS BURRITOS 2 and 7-Eleven are two blocks north. Coffee options include 7-Eleven nearby and Starbucks a mile out. The Yoga Space and Ocean View Yoga offer fitness options within walking distance.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Seven minutes to Naval Station Norfolk and eight to MARFORCOM Norfolk puts this address within easy commute range for active-duty and civilian personnel.

Room to grow

Two bedrooms and two bathrooms give you room to work with in a 1,275-square-foot footprint. The layout flows well for daily living, and the proximity to parks and water means outdoor space extends beyond the property line. Storage and a straightforward floor plan make this home efficient to maintain and personalize.
