Why this home stands out
What sets this address apart is the rare combination of mid-century scale and urban convenience. At 3,267 square feet, homes of this size from this era are uncommon in the immediate area. You're a short walk from Weyanoke Bird and Wildflower Sanctuary, a block from independent restaurants and coffee, and just four minutes from Naval Medical Center Portsmouth — all while sitting inside Norfolk city limits.
WEST GHENT and the Norfolk real estate market
West Princess Anne Road runs through one of Norfolk's most established residential corridors, where brick construction, mature tree canopy, and deep lots signal a neighborhood built to last. This stretch sits near the boundary of several historic districts, and if you've been searching for norfolk historic homes with genuine square footage rather than a postage-stamp floor plan, this block delivers. Norfolk itself is a city of distinct, walkable pockets — waterfront culture, independent dining, arts venues, and a deep military heritage all coexist here. The 23507 zip code in particular carries a reputation for architectural character and neighborhood stability. Residents tend to know their neighbors, walk their dogs past century-old oaks, and grab coffee on foot. City services, major roadways, and the broader Hampton Roads metro are all easily accessible, making this a practical base as much as a characterful one.
What's nearby
Daily life is genuinely easy from 1444 W Princess Anne Road. FR8 House Coffee Co. is just 0.2 miles away for your morning routine, and Biscuit Belly, MOMO Kitchen, and Just Birdies are all within a three-minute walk for meals out.

For fitness, StretchLab, Club Pilates, and Lacey Lee Fitness are practically around the corner. Best of all, Weyanoke Bird and Wildflower Sanctuary and Graydon Park are just 0.1 miles away, giving you an immediate green escape without getting in the car.
