About this home

This is a fixer-upper, and it is priced like one. The home needs work throughout and is being sold strictly as-is, with no repairs and no warranties. What it does have going for it: some of the hardest and most expensive work is already done. New roof, new vapor barrier, foundation improvements, and soffit repairs are complete, with fresh carpet and paint in the downstairs living space. The floor plan offers two separate living areas, up/down duplex, with separately metered utilities. Classified as single family in City of Suffolk records; buyers are encouraged to independently verify use, zoning, and permitting with the City. A good fit for a renovation buyer, a contractor, or someone willing to trade sweat equity for a price that leaves room to work with. Bring your contractor and run your numbers. Vacant and easy to show. Cash and renovation financing both welcome.

Old Town Suffolk is where history and everyday life intersect. Tree-lined streets, brick storefronts, and restored homes create a village feel inside the city.

Downtown sits on the Nansemond River, and the whole city is built for connection: neighbors know each other, local business owners are fixtures, and the pace is human-scaled. Getting around is straightforward—major routes connect you to Norfolk Naval Shipyard and beyond. If you're comparing homes for sale in 23434, note that Old Town offers the rare combination of walkability, affordability, and genuine community.
