1720 Ashland Ave, Norfolk, VA 23509

Why this home stands out

Homes built in 1923 don't come with cookie-cutter floor plans, and 1720 Ashland Ave is proof. Five bedrooms across 2,900 square feet gives you genuine flexibility — a home office, a guest suite, a playroom — without sacrificing a sense of warmth. The 0.23-acre lot is unusually deep for this part of Norfolk, offering outdoor space that most in-city addresses simply can't match. Solid bones, real square footage, and a lot that breathes.

Ashland Ave sits comfortably within that fabric: close enough to the city's energy, far enough from the noise. When people searching for homes for sale norfolk va stumble onto Winona, they often find it checks boxes they didn't know were on the list. Norfolk as a whole offers a dense mix of waterfront access, arts venues, and military infrastructure, and Winona puts you within easy reach of all of it. The neighborhood falls within the city of Norfolk in Norfolk city jurisdiction — no county lines to navigate, and city services are straightforward.
