Why this home stands out
Built in 1940, this 1,564-square-foot home carries the kind of solid construction and architectural detail that newer builds rarely replicate — think defined room layouts, a full footprint on an established lot, and four true bedrooms under one roof. The half-bath adds practical flexibility, and the location threads the needle between urban convenience and a quieter residential street feel that's increasingly hard to find in Norfolk.
LAFAYETTE SHORES and the Norfolk real estate market
Tarrall Avenue sits in a mature, tree-lined section of Norfolk where mid-century homes line the streets and neighbors tend to know each other by name. This part of the city developed steadily through the 1930s and 1940s, and that era left behind a stock of norfolk historic homes with real bones — brick exteriors, covered porches, and lots with actual depth. Norfolk itself is one of the most dynamic cities on the East Coast, shaped by its deep military roots, a thriving arts district along Granby Street, and a waterfront that draws both residents and visitors year-round. The 23509 zip code places you in the heart of it all: close to the commercial corridors of Granby and Little Creek, connected by well-traveled surface roads, and within easy reach of the bridges and tunnels that link Hampton Roads together. Daily life here has a rhythm — walkable for errands, drivable for everything else.
