Why this home stands out
A home built in 1919 carries a kind of bones you simply do not find in newer construction. At 2,075 square feet across four bedrooms, the layout gives you real room to spread out. The lot puts you within a short walk of Princess Anne Park and just steps from everyday errands. JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is about eight minutes away, and USCG Base Portsmouth is roughly eleven. That combination of age, size, and location is rare among Norfolk homes for sale.
