Why this home stands out
Homes from the late 1930s rarely offer this much square footage, and 1200 N Fairwater Drive delivers it without sacrificing the architectural details that make that era worth seeking out. Three full bathrooms across 2,878 square feet means everyone has room to breathe, and the 1939 construction date puts this property in a class of craftsmanship that newer builds simply can't replicate. This is the kind of address that rewards a closer look.
LARCHMONT and the Norfolk real estate market
North Fairwater Drive sits in a mature, tree-lined section of Norfolk where the streets feel unhurried and the homes have actual stories behind them. The surrounding blocks are a mix of well-maintained mid-century and pre-war residences, giving the area a cohesive, settled character that newer subdivisions take decades to develop — if they ever do. This part of Norfolk is close to everything without feeling crowded, and neighbors tend to put down roots here rather than pass through. If you've been searching for a house for sale in Norfolk VA that comes with genuine neighborhood bones, Fairwater Drive checks that box. Norfolk itself is a city of distinct districts, waterfront culture, and a deep military heritage, and this address puts you squarely in one of its most livable pockets — close to the urban core, close to the bases, and close to the kind of everyday conveniences that make a home feel like a smart long-term choice.
What's nearby
Daily life is easy from North Fairwater Drive. Ghent's coffee shops, independent restaurants, and boutique retail are just a short drive away, and the Colley Avenue corridor gives you quick access to groceries, pharmacies, and casual dining without a long commute. Larchmont-Edgewater Park and the Lafayette River waterfront offer outdoor space within easy reach. For commuters, the location is genuinely hard to beat — MARFORCOM Norfolk and Naval Station Norfolk are each roughly six minutes out, which translates to meaningful time back in your day, every single day.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Six minutes to MARFORCOM Norfolk and six minutes to Naval Station Norfolk — that's the kind of commute that changes daily life. A VA loan is a natural fit for a property at this price point and square footage, and three full bathrooms mean the household runs smoothly even on early-report mornings. If you're PCSing to the Hampton Roads area and searching homes in Norfolk, this address deserves a serious look.
For buyers drawn to character
If you've spent time touring cookie-cutter construction and walking away uninspired, 1200 N Fairwater Drive is a different experience entirely. Built in 1939, this home carries the proportions, the details, and the quiet confidence that only eight decades of standing can produce. Nearly 2,900 square feet of pre-war residential architecture on a named Norfolk street — that's not something you find every weekend.
