Why this home stands out

Built in 1892, this home carries the architectural character of Ghent's golden era—period details and generous room counts that define houses for sale in Ghent Norfolk VA. The lot spans nearly a third of an acre on a tree-lined block. Six bedrooms and 5.1 baths give you space to live, work, and host. High ceilings, original woodwork, and solid construction are hallmarks of the era. Few Victorian homes of this scale remain in the neighborhood.

GHENT and the Norfolk real estate market

Ghent is Norfolk's most walkable, tree-canopied neighborhood—a mix of 1890s Victorians, early-1900s colonials, and thoughtfully updated homes. The streets feel residential and quiet, yet you're never far from restaurants, galleries, and local shops. Daily life centers on the Hague waterfront, tree-lined avenues, and a strong sense of place. Homes for sale in Ghent VA tend to attract buyers who value history and urban convenience in equal measure. The city itself is a working port with a naval heritage, museums, and a downtown waterfront that's grown into a cultural hub. Getting around is easy: I-264 and I-64 are minutes away, and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth sits just two minutes south. Anyone comparing Norfolk homes for sale will find Ghent's walkability and character hard to match.

What's nearby

Press 626 Wine Bar is right at your door. Grand Grounds and EspressOasis sit a two-minute walk away for morning coffee. The Retreat Cafe and Subway are within a few blocks. Harris Teeter grocery is half a mile north. For fitness, Colleywood Cuts gym is a short walk; Fit Co and the Blocker Norfolk Family YMCA are under a mile. Parks surround you: The Hague Bulkhead, Raleigh Avenue Playground, and Raleigh Park are all within a tenth of a mile.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is two minutes away; USCG Base Portsmouth is three. VA loan financing is standard here—many homes for sale in Ghent VA carry VA-friendly terms. The neighborhood's walkability means less time commuting, more time at home. Six bedrooms allow flexibility for a home office, guest quarters, or space to spread out.

Room to grow

Six bedrooms and 5.1 baths give you room to grow without moving. The nearly one-third-acre lot offers space for a yard, gardens, or outdoor projects. High ceilings and original woodwork create distinct living zones throughout the home. Storage is generous across the 8,122 square feet. The quiet, tree-lined block keeps the home feeling like a retreat while staying walkable to shops and dining.
