Set among early-20th-century homes in the historic North End's Huntington Heights neighborhood, this home pairs timeless charm, character, and the gracious proportions of an earlier era with thoughtful updates for today's living. Enjoy morning coffee on the large covered front porch, made for rocking chairs and slow evenings. Inside, oak hardwood floors, original trim, and a classic staircase welcome you, while French doors open to a living room with a fireplace. The heart of the home is the kitchen, where slate-blue cabinets, stainless appliances, and a large peninsula flow through a wood-framed opening to the dining room. The primary suite has a large ensuite bath and walk-in closet, plus 2 spacious bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a walk-in attic ready for a 4th bedroom, office, or playroom. Outside are a large fenced yard, detached garage with workshop, and a rare extended driveway. Close to the Shipyard, JRB, HRBT, Monitor-Merrimac, and more, it's a place to settle in and call home.

HUNTINGTON HEIGHTS and the Newport News real estate market
The 56th Street corridor sits in a working, walkable part of Newport News where early-twentieth-century homes line modest blocks. Houses here tend to be larger than their age suggests, and the street grid is easy to navigate on foot. The area has a neighborhood-first feel — corner stores, small parks, and local restaurants within a short walk. Newport News itself stretches from the James River waterfront north toward York County. The city is one of the larger in Hampton Roads, with a deep history tied to the shipbuilding industry. Getting around is straightforward: Interstate 664 and Jefferson Avenue are both nearby. The Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport is about 15 minutes east. Anyone comparing homes for sale in 23607 will find this zip code sits close to the geographic center of the city, which keeps commute times manageable in most directions.

Selina's PoP-up-Restaurant, Colony Restaurant, and Southern Style Wings and Things are all within half a mile for dinner close to home.

BGR8 Fitness & Performance is 0.8 miles out for workouts. 47th Street & Warwick Minipark and Highland Court Park are both about 0.6 miles away for outdoor time.

The home's size — over 2,000 square feet — means you are not giving anything up to stay close to base.
