4885 Kennebeck Ave, Norfolk, VA 23513

Why this home stands out

What sets 4885 Kennebeck Avenue apart is the combination of a four-bedroom floor plan — rare at this size class in mid-century Norfolk — and a location that puts two military installations within a ten-minute drive. The 1950 build era means solid construction and established lot lines, while the surrounding streets carry the lived-in character of a neighborhood that has been home to working families for generations.

ELMHURST and the Norfolk real estate market

Kennebeck Avenue sits in a residential pocket of east Norfolk where the streets are lined with mid-century single-family homes and neighbors tend to know each other by name. The area feeds into the broader Five Points corridor, a part of Norfolk that has long served the military and civilian workforce communities alike. Norfolk itself is one of the anchor cities of Hampton Roads — a metro shaped by the water, the naval presence, and a genuinely diverse mix of people and cultures. Daily life here moves at a practical pace: errands are close, commutes to base are short, and the city's waterfront, downtown arts scene, and Ghent dining district are all reachable within fifteen to twenty minutes. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk will notice that this part of the city offers larger lot footprints and quieter residential streets than many closer-in neighborhoods, without sacrificing access to the things that matter.

Day-to-day convenience is genuinely strong here. Azalea Food Mart, Quick Stop, and Market Connections Co are all within half a mile for quick grocery runs. When you'd rather let someone else cook, Ocean Blue Seafood Restaurant, Golden City Chinese Restaurant, and Ez Inn are each within two blocks. Morning coffee is covered at The Blackdog Cafe (0.5 mi) or the 7-Eleven a few minutes closer. For fitness and fresh air, North FoxHall FitLot Outdoor Fitness Park and North Foxhall Playground are both 0.4 miles out, and 1STRING Sports Training is just beyond that for structured workouts.
