Why this home stands out
A six-bedroom home built in 1920 is a rare find anywhere, but in Larchmont it's genuinely special. The 2,943 square feet give you room to spread out — home office, guest suite, playroom, whatever your life actually needs — while the neighborhood's mature tree canopy and pedestrian-friendly streets keep daily life grounded and human-scaled. This is the kind of address people hold onto for decades.
LARCHMONT and the Norfolk real estate market
Larchmont is one of Norfolk's most enduring and sought-after neighborhoods, and 1101 Lexan Ave sits right in the heart of it. Developed primarily in the early twentieth century, the area is defined by wide sidewalks, mature hardwoods, and an eclectic mix of craftsman bungalows, colonial revivals, and foursquares that give each block its own personality. Residents here tend to stay — and it's easy to see why. You're within easy walking distance of independent restaurants, coffee shops, and green space, yet the neighborhood itself feels unhurried and residential. If you've been searching among larchmont norfolk homes for sale, you already know the reputation: strong community identity, proximity to the Lafayette River, and a location that puts virtually all of Norfolk within a short drive. The neighborhood sits in Norfolk, Virginia — a city that blends deep military history with a growing arts and food scene, and Larchmont captures the best of what makes the city worth calling home.

Naval Station Norfolk and MARFORCOM Norfolk are both six minutes away — a commute that's hard to beat in this market. The six bedrooms give your household room to breathe through deployments and homecomings alike, and a VA loan can make a home of this size more accessible than you might expect. BAH rates for the Norfolk area are among the strongest in Virginia.
For buyers drawn to character
Homes built in 1920 with this much square footage don't come around often. The architecture, the lot, the street — everything here has the kind of depth that newer construction simply can't replicate. If you've been browsing houses for sale in Norfolk and keep finding yourself drawn to the older, more distinctive properties, 1101 Lexan Ave is worth a serious look.
