Why this home stands out
Century-old bones, oceanfront zip code. Built in 1925, this four-bedroom, 2.1-bath home carries the architectural character of Virginia Beach's earliest resort era while sitting inside one of the city's most walkable blocks. Harris Teeter is 0.1 miles away, Starbucks is around the corner, and the Atlantic Ocean is close enough that salt air is part of daily life. Few addresses combine that kind of age, charm, and raw location advantage.
