Our read on this home

At a glance

3001 Tait Terrace is a 4-bedroom, 1927-built single-family home in Norfolk's Ballentine Place neighborhood, offering nearly 1,600 square feet of classic character just minutes from two major military installations and a walkable stretch of everyday conveniences.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 3001 Tait Terrace apart is the combination of pre-war architectural bones — think the kind of craftsmanship and proportions you simply don't find in newer construction — with a location that punches well above its weight. Four bedrooms in a 1927 home this size means the original builders knew how to use space. You're six minutes from two significant installations and half a mile from a grocery store. That's a rare trifecta.

BALLENTINE PLACE and the Norfolk real estate market

Ballentine Place is one of those Norfolk neighborhoods that rewards people who appreciate a little history underfoot. The streets here carry the quiet confidence of a community that's been established for nearly a century — mature trees, brick and frame homes from the 1920s through the mid-20th century, and neighbors who tend to stick around. It sits in the heart of Norfolk, close enough to the city's energy but removed from the congestion of the busier corridors. For anyone exploring norfolk real estate, Ballentine Place offers something increasingly rare: genuine neighborhood character at a scale that still feels human. Norfolk itself is a city of layers — military history, waterfront culture, a growing arts scene, and one of the most active port economies on the East Coast. Living here means you're never far from something interesting, whether that's a waterfront walk, a local seafood spot, or a quick commute to one of the region's many bases.
