Why this home stands out
At 3,442 square feet, 1505 Bordeaux Place delivers space that is genuinely hard to find among Norfolk homes for sale at this size and vintage. Four bedrooms, three full baths, and a half bath give the layout real flexibility — room to work from home, host guests, or simply spread out. The 1993 build year hits a practical sweet spot: solid construction without the maintenance surprises of an older home, and plenty of room to personalize finishes on your own timeline.
LAFAYETTE SHORES and the Norfolk real estate market
Bordeaux Place sits in a quiet pocket of north-central Norfolk, a city that punches well above its weight for livability.

The surrounding streets have a settled, established character: mature trees, owner-occupied homes, and neighbors who have been around long enough to wave hello. Granby Street, one of Norfolk's main commercial corridors, is just minutes away, connecting you to coffee, groceries, and local dining without any highway drama. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often note how quickly this part of the city gets you onto I-64 or down to the waterfront — and this address is no exception. The 23505 zip code has long been a reliable, central landing spot in the city.
