Why this home stands out

Built over a century ago, this home carries the craftsmanship of early 1900s construction. The 1,928 square feet span four bedrooms and two bathrooms across a thoughtful layout. A corner lot gives you extra light and outdoor space. The bones are sound, the neighborhood is established, and the bones reward someone ready to make it their own.

SOUTH NORFOLK and the Chesapeake real estate market

South Norfolk is a historic, tree-lined neighborhood where streets feel lived-in and real. Homes here range from vintage cottages to mid-century bungalows, each with personality. You're walking distance to local shops, parks, and the water's edge. Chesapeake itself spreads across 430 square miles—part urban, part suburban, part waterfront. Getting around is easy: major roads connect you to downtown Norfolk in under 10 minutes, to Virginia Beach in 20. If you're comparing homes for sale in Chesapeake, note that South Norfolk offers the rare blend of established neighborhood feel with quick access to jobs and amenities. The city sits where the Elizabeth River meets the harbor, so water views and water access are woven into daily life.

What's nearby

You're a short drive from Elizabeth River Park, where trails and water access invite outdoor time. Local coffee shops and restaurants line the nearby avenues. The grocery store is a few blocks away. Norfolk Naval Shipyard is just three minutes by car, and USCG Base Portsmouth sits four minutes in the other direction. Schools in the area serve the neighborhood well.

Room to grow

Four bedrooms give you room to spread out, with two full bathrooms to match. The corner lot offers yard space for kids and pets. The 1,928 square feet flow across a practical layout that suits a household ready for more space than a starter home, but without the sprawl of a new subdivision.
