About this home

FOUR-DUPLEX PORTFOLIO – INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY. Seller is offering the following properties individually and will also consider offers for two, three or all four properties: 204 Central Ave, Suffolk – MLS#10656924 – $280,000; 1725/1727 Prentis Ave, Portsmouth – MLS#10656902 – $260,000; 1622 Prentis Ave, Portsmouth – MLS#10656915 – $245,000; and 1551 Spruce St, Norfolk – MLS#10656917 – $290,000. Total individual asking prices: $1,075,000. Package offers may receive preferential consideration or pricing depending upon the number of properties purchased and overall terms of the offer. IMPORTANT LENDER APPROVAL REQUIREMENT: All four properties currently secure a commercial umbrella loan. Any individual or package sale is subject to approval by the existing lender of the release and payoff terms applicable to each property being sold. This is not a traditional residential short sale; however, lender participation and written approval of each property release will be required before closing. Buyers and agents should anticipate additional time for lender review and should structure settlement dates accordingly. Seller may consider and negotiate offers subject to this lender approval process. Seven of the eight units are currently tenant occupied. Tenant privacy and required notice periods must be respected. Occupied units will be shown only during designated showing days and tenant-available time blocks established by the listing agent. Prior to occupied-unit showings, prospective purchasers should provide evidence of funds available for the required down payment and current lender preapproval or other satisfactory financing documentation. One unit at 1622 Prentis Ave is currently vacant and may be available for more flexible showing appointments. Lease information and basic rent roll are available to qualified prospective purchasers. Contact listing agent regarding showing schedules, multiple-property/package offers, lender approval procedures, lease information and additional portfolio details.

Why this home stands out

Multi-family properties from the early 1950s carry real structural bones — thick walls, generous room sizes, and lots that predate the era of tight subdivision spacing. At 2,100 square feet, 1551 Spruce Street offers meaningful square footage for a property of this type. The 23502 corridor is one of Norfolk's more accessible pockets, with everyday errands handled within half a mile and two major installations reachable in about eight minutes.

COLEMAN PLACE and the Norfolk real estate market

Spruce Street sits in a mid-century Norfolk neighborhood where postwar construction lines the blocks in a mix of single-family homes and multi-unit properties. Streets here are wide and tree-lined, giving the area an open, settled feel. The housing stock from the 1940s and 1950s tends to run larger than newer infill, so square footage goes further. Norfolk itself is one of the most historically layered cities on the East Coast. It anchors the Hampton Roads metro and connects easily to Chesapeake, Portsmouth, and Virginia Beach by highway or tunnel. Downtown Norfolk is roughly 15 minutes west, where you'll find the Waterside District, Chrysler Museum of Art, and a growing restaurant scene. Interstate 264 and Military Highway both run close by, making it straightforward to move around the region. Buyers comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often land in 23502 once they run the numbers on commute times and square footage.

What's nearby

Daily errands are genuinely easy from 1551 Spruce Street. Piggly Wiggly, Tiendita Latinos Unidos, and Walmart Neighborhood Market are all within 0.6 miles. Hardee's and Greater Grinders Submarines are just 0.3 miles away for a quick meal. Wawa is half a mile out for coffee and grab-and-go items. North Foxhall Playground and North FoxHall FitLot Outdoor Fitness Park are both under a mile, offering outdoor space and open-air exercise equipment. The Salvation Army Kroc Center Hampton Roads and Joan Kroc Center round out the fitness options at about a mile away.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

USCG Base Portsmouth and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth are each about eight minutes from 1551 Spruce Street. That kind of short commute window matters when schedules shift without notice. VA loan financing is widely used for multi-family properties like this one, and the 23502 location keeps BAH stretch realistic. Homes for sale in 23502 with this commute profile are worth bookmarking early in a PCS search.

For buyers drawn to character

1951 construction means real plaster-era character — proportioned rooms, solid framing, and a lot footprint that newer builds rarely match. Multi-family properties of this vintage in Norfolk are uncommon finds. Buyers who want homes for sale zoned for Booker T. Washington High School and homes for sale zoned for Coleman Place Elementary School will find 1551 Spruce Street worth adding to their shortlist alongside the architectural appeal.
