Why this home stands out
Square footage this generous in a century-old Norfolk home is genuinely rare. At 3,761 square feet, 255 E 41st St gives you the kind of room count — four bedrooms, three full baths, a half bath — that newer construction charges a premium for, wrapped in the craftsmanship and proportions that only a 1925 build delivers. It's a home that has real bones and real space.
RIVERVIEW and the Norfolk real estate market
The blocks around E 41st Street sit in one of Norfolk's most characterful urban corridors — close enough to Granby Street to feel plugged in, but residential enough to feel like a genuine neighborhood. Norfolk historic homes like this one anchor streets where bungalows and foursquares have stood for a century, and the area rewards walkers. You're in Norfolk, a city shaped by the water, the military, and a creative class that has steadily invested in its older neighborhoods. The result is a place where a Saturday morning walk might take you past an independent café, a dog park, and a fishing pier before you've had your second cup of coffee. City services, transit, and the broader Hampton Roads highway network are all within easy reach, and the urban energy here is the kind that tends to appreciate — in every sense of the word.
What's nearby
Daily life is genuinely easy from this address. Leila International Cuisine, Pittie Dog Grill, and LeGrand Kitchen are all within two blocks, so weeknight dinners practically plan themselves. For groceries, NuLand Hot Stuff Company and Watergate 5 are both under a mile away. The Cage Kids Cafe and House of Consciousness/Jikoni Cafe give you neighborhood coffee options worth the short walk. Outdoors, the Granby Street Bridge Fishing Pier, Granby Street Park, and Colonial Place Dog Park are all within a half mile, and the tennis courts at Lafayette Park are just 0.3 miles out. The YMCA on Granby and GUD Yoga round out the fitness picture nicely.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is six minutes away, and USCG Base Portsmouth is seven — making 255 E 41st St one of the more strategically located homes in the area for active-duty households. Four bedrooms and 3,761 square feet means there's room for a home office, a guest room, or space to grow without feeling squeezed on a long tour. A VA loan can make a home like this very accessible for eligible buyers.
For buyers drawn to character
If you've been searching for a home with genuine architectural history rather than a simulated version of it, a 1925 build at this scale is worth your attention. Nearly a century of Norfolk life has passed through these walls, and the proportions — high ceilings, generous rooms, a lot size that reflects an era before builders started shrinking everything — simply aren't replicated in modern construction. This is the kind of home people stay in for decades.
