Why this home stands out
What sets 3417 Peronne Avenue apart is the combination of square footage and vintage character you rarely find together. Built in 1950, the home carries the solid construction and generous room proportions of that era — four true bedrooms, 2,160 square feet, and a half-bath that makes everyday hosting feel effortless. Pair that with walkable groceries, neighborhood parks, and a sub-ten-minute drive to two major installations, and the address does a lot of heavy lifting.
FAIRMOUNT PARK and the Norfolk real estate market
Peronne Avenue sits in a residential pocket of Norfolk that still has the feel of an established, lived-in community — tree-lined streets, homes with real yards, and neighbors who actually know each other. The surrounding area blends mid-century single-family houses with small local businesses within easy walking distance, giving the block a grounded, unpretentious character. Norfolk itself is one of Hampton Roads' most dynamic cities, shaped by its deep ties to the military, a growing arts and restaurant scene downtown, and waterfront access that defines daily life here. From this address you're well-positioned to reach the heart of Norfolk, cross into Portsmouth quickly, or hop onto I-264 when you need to range further across the region. It's the kind of location that feels central without feeling hectic — close enough to everything, calm enough to come home to.

For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is seven minutes from your front door, and USCG Base Portsmouth matches that same commute. For a military household, that kind of proximity is hard to overstate — it means more time at home and less time in traffic. Four bedrooms give everyone their own space, and the solid 1950s construction means you're not inheriting someone else's renovation project.
For first-time buyers
If you're stepping into homeownership for the first time, 3417 Peronne Avenue offers something valuable: real square footage — 2,160 of it — in a neighborhood where the price of entry is more accessible than newer construction. Four bedrooms means room to grow, and walkable groceries and parks mean you won't feel car-dependent for everyday life. A VA loan could make the math work especially well if you're connected to the military community nearby.
