About this home

Welcome to 3508 Bertha Street, a versatile four-bedroom, two-bath home offering an unusual combination of updated living space, flexible use, and an exceptionally wide lot with approximately 105 feet of road frontage. Inside, the home offers a functional layout with four bedrooms and two full baths, including space created from a former garage conversion that adds valuable interior flexibility. Recent improvements include a newer roof, updated HVAC, and updated flooring, giving the next owner the benefit of major work already completed. What truly sets this property apart is the lot. With approximately 105 feet of frontage and generous side-yard space, the property offers a footprint that is difficult to find in the surrounding area. The width creates possibilities for future outdoor improvements, additional parking, recreational space, or other uses subject to applicable City of Norfolk zoning, permitting, and approval. The home has also been successfully used in a furnished, longer-stay rental format, making it appealing not only as a primary residence but also as a flexible investment property. Whether you are looking for a spacious four-bedroom home, a property with rental potential, or a lot with uncommon width and future possibilities, 3508 Bertha Street offers options that go well beyond the typical neighborhood ranch. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, military installations, major roadways, and everyday amenities, this is a property that deserves to be seen in person.

A four-bedroom, two-bath mid-century home in Norvella Heights, Norfolk — 1,258 square feet built in 1953, sitting eight minutes from JEB Little Creek-Fort Story and steps from a walkable strip of international restaurants, grocers, and a neighborhood park.

Why this home stands out

What sets 3508 Bertha Street apart is the combination of a true four-bedroom floor plan and a price point that keeps this zip code competitive among Norfolk homes for sale. The 1953 construction gives you solid bones and a classic layout, while the surrounding block delivers a level of daily convenience — coffee, groceries, Caribbean soul food, and Philippine cuisine all within a quarter mile — that newer subdivisions rarely match.

NORVELLA HEIGHTS and the Norfolk real estate market

Norvella Heights is a compact, established neighborhood tucked into the eastern side of Norfolk, Virginia — the kind of place where neighbors know each other and sidewalks actually get used. The streets here are lined with mid-century ranches and cottages that have been owned and cared for across generations, giving the area a lived-in character you can feel the moment you turn onto Bertha Street. Norfolk itself is one of the most historically layered cities on the East Coast, anchored by the world's largest naval station, a thriving arts district along Granby Street, and a waterfront that draws visitors year-round. For families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk, the city offers genuine variety — from quiet residential pockets like Norvella Heights to walkable urban corridors — all within a surprisingly manageable footprint. Getting around is straightforward: Interstate 64 is close, and the broader Hampton Roads region is accessible without a long commute.

What's nearby

Day-to-day errands are genuinely easy from 3508 Bertha Street. A BP station is 0.1 miles away for quick stops, and Nikkos Tindahan Oriental Store and Pulperia Latina — both within 0.2 miles — bring international grocery options right to the neighborhood. When you want to eat out, 7 Spices Caribbean Soul, Boracay Philippine Cuisine, and Mona Lisa's Restaurant & Bar are all within a short walk. Dunkin' is 0.2 miles away for your morning coffee run, with Royal Farms and 7-Eleven both within 0.4 miles as backup. Azalea Acres Neighborhood Park, also 0.4 miles out, gives you a green space for weekend mornings or after-school time.
