Why this home stands out
What sets this address apart is the combination of pre-war architectural character and genuine square footage on a nearly quarter-acre lot — a pairing that's genuinely hard to find in an established, walkable Norfolk neighborhood. Built in 1939, the home carries the craftsmanship details of its era while sitting on a street that connects you to restaurants, parks, and both MARFORCOM Norfolk and Naval Station Norfolk within six minutes.
LARCHMONT and the Norfolk real estate market
Larchmont is one of Norfolk's most enduring residential neighborhoods — the kind of place where mature tree canopies line the streets and neighbors actually know each other's names. Positioned along the Lafayette River, the area has a distinct character shaped by its early-twentieth-century roots and the generations of families who've chosen to stay. If you've been searching larchmont norfolk homes for sale, you already know the reputation: well-kept homes, walkable blocks, and a neighborhood identity that holds its own. N Fairwater Drive sits comfortably within that fabric, giving you quick access to the broader city of Norfolk while feeling genuinely removed from its bustle. The surrounding streets mix architectural styles from the 1920s through the 1950s, and the community has a longstanding pride of place that shows in the landscaping, the sidewalks, and the general upkeep you'll notice on a simple drive-through.
What's nearby
Daily life is easy from N Fairwater Drive. D'Egg West and Waters Edge Winery & Bistro Norfolk are both within 0.2 miles — meaning a weekday breakfast or a Friday evening out requires almost no effort. Starbucks is 0.9 miles away when you need your morning routine handled. For outdoor time, Myrtle Park is just 0.4 miles down the road, Virginia Park is 0.6 miles out, and Cambridge Crescent Dog Park is at that same 0.6-mile mark — a real bonus if a dog is part of the household.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
MARFORCOM Norfolk and Naval Station Norfolk are each about six minutes from the front door — a commute that's genuinely short by any standard. For military households using a VA loan or working through BAH calculations, that proximity matters. Larchmont's stability, walkability, and neighborhood character make it a strong long-term choice whether you're on a two-year set of orders or planting roots for good.
For buyers drawn to character
If houses for sale in norfolk with real architectural history are what you're after, 1200 N Fairwater Drive delivers. Built in 1939, this home carries the proportions, details, and street presence that newer construction simply doesn't replicate. Nearly 2,900 square feet on a quarter-acre lot in a neighborhood that's been desirable for the better part of a century — that's the kind of combination character buyers spend years waiting for.
