Why this home stands out
Half-acre lots in an established Norfolk neighborhood are genuinely hard to come by, and 4701 Pinehurst AVE delivers exactly that. Built in 1948, the home carries the solid construction and generous room proportions of its era — five bedrooms and 2,780 square feet give you real flexibility, whether that means dedicated home-office space, a guest suite, or simply room for everyone to spread out without compromise.
GREENWOOD and the Norfolk real estate market
Greenwood is one of those Norfolk neighborhoods that rewards people who take the time to explore it. The streets are lined with mid-century homes on substantial lots, and the area has a settled, residential character that newer subdivisions rarely replicate. Neighbors tend to stay, which gives the community a genuine sense of continuity. Norfolk itself is a city with serious range — waterfront dining, a thriving arts scene, major medical facilities, and one of the most active military corridors on the East Coast all coexist here. If you've been searching through houses for sale in norfolk va, Greenwood stands out for its lot sizes and its proximity to both downtown Norfolk and the Portsmouth waterfront. The city is also well-connected by highway, making it straightforward to reach Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, or the Peninsula without a major time investment.
