Why this home stands out
At 1,260 square feet, this home hits a sweet spot for buyers who want enough room to live comfortably without the overhead of a sprawling floor plan. Three bedrooms give you flexibility — a primary suite, a guest room, and a home office or nursery. The 1976 build era means solid construction with mature landscaping typical of established Virginia Beach neighborhoods, and everyday errands are genuinely walkable from the front door.
BRANDON and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Guthrie Street sits in a quiet, established pocket of Virginia Beach — a city that consistently ranks among the most livable on the East Coast. This part of Virginia Beach blends suburban calm with real urban convenience: you're close to major corridors without being on top of them. The surrounding streets have the feel of a neighborhood where people actually know their neighbors — mature trees, sidewalks, and a mix of long-time residents and newcomers who appreciate the location. Virginia Beach itself stretches from the Oceanfront resort strip all the way inland to the Chesapeake border, and this address lands you in the inland half where commutes are efficient and the pace is a little more relaxed. City amenities — libraries, recreation centers, and green space — are distributed throughout, and the broader Kempsville area has been a stable, sought-after corridor for decades.
