Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Built in 1924, this five-bedroom residence carries the kind of bones that newer construction rarely replicates — solid framing, generous room counts, and a lot of living packed into a tight footprint. What truly sets it apart is the location: Norfolk Naval Shipyard is a three-minute drive away, USCG Base Portsmouth is four minutes out, and a Dunkin' is literally two-tenths of a mile down the road. Convenience and character in one package.

SOUTH NORFOLK and the Chesapeake real estate market

South Norfolk is one of Chesapeake's most historically rooted communities, developed in the early twentieth century as a working-class neighborhood with a grid street layout and a genuine sense of place. The streets are lined with homes from the 1920s through the 1950s, giving the area an architectural consistency you won't find in newer subdivisions. Residents here tend to know their neighbors, and the walkable blocks make it easy to stay connected. If you've been browsing houses for sale chesapeake virginia, South Norfolk offers something the newer master-planned communities don't — real history and proximity to everything that makes Hampton Roads tick. Chesapeake as a city wraps around this neighborhood with strong infrastructure, parks, and access to the broader Hampton Roads metro. The Elizabeth River corridor sits close by, and Interstate 464 puts you on the regional highway network in minutes.

What's nearby

Daily life is genuinely easy from 1138 Seaboard Ave. Dunkin' is just 0.2 miles away for your morning coffee, with Rich Port Coffee and McDonald's both within 0.3 miles as backup options. Mak's Chinese Restaurant and Little Caesars Pizza are each 0.2–0.3 miles out when you want a quick dinner. For everyday essentials, In and Out Smoke Shop and Deli is 0.4 miles away, Dollar General is 0.5 miles, and Mr Food Mart rounds things out at 0.7 miles. Johnson Park and Cascade Park are both 0.3 miles from your front door, with Atlantic Avenue Park just 0.4 miles out — solid options for a morning walk or an afternoon outside. RheuFit gym is 0.8 miles away for anyone keeping a fitness routine.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Three minutes to Norfolk Naval Shipyard and four minutes to USCG Base Portsmouth — the commute math is hard to beat. A VA loan can make this five-bedroom home even more accessible, and with BAH rates in Hampton Roads, the numbers often work in your favor. Five bedrooms means space for a home office, a guest room, or room to grow without feeling squeezed.

For families upgrading

Five bedrooms in a walkable neighborhood with three parks within half a mile — that's a setup that works whether your household is growing or you just want room to breathe. The 1924 build gives you solid construction and character, while the South Norfolk location keeps you close to the broader Chesapeake amenities you rely on every day.
