Why this home stands out
Homes built in 1920 don't come with cookie-cutter layouts — they come with thick plaster walls, distinct room proportions, and a sense of permanence that newer construction rarely matches. Fairmount Park is one of those under-the-radar Norfolk neighborhoods where the streets are quiet, the lots are real, and you're still a short drive from practically everything. Four bedrooms at this square footage means the spaces are cozy and purposeful, not oversized and empty.
