Why this home stands out

The 1953-era layout gives you four genuine bedrooms and over 2,400 square feet—plenty of space without the sprawl. A mid-century floor plan means character and flow that newer construction often misses.

You're looking at a property with bones and bones with purpose.

BROAD CREEK and the Norfolk real estate market

Merrimac Avenue sits in a working neighborhood where daily life is straightforward and accessible. Tree-lined streets, modest homes, and neighbors who've been here for years create a stable, unpretentious feel. You'll find grocery stores, coffee, and restaurants within a few blocks—Fabio's Pizza is right around the corner, and Walmart Neighborhood Market is less than half a mile away. Parks dot the area: Broad Creek Park and the Joan Kroc Center are both a short walk, perfect for weekend routines. Norfolk itself is a historic port city with waterfront charm, naval heritage, and growing neighborhoods. Getting around is easy on local roads, and if you're comparing homes for sale in Norfolk, note that this zip code puts you near both military and civilian job centers. Anyone considering homes for sale in 23504 will appreciate the short drives to employment hubs and the established feel of these streets.
