Why this home stands out
What makes 7017 Doummar Drive stand out is its rare combination of mid-century bones and genuine everyday convenience. Built in 1956, the home carries the kind of solid construction that newer builds rarely replicate — thick walls, established lot, and a footprint that gives you real room to live. Add two bases within ten minutes and a walkable cluster of shops and restaurants, and this address punches well above its square footage.
LARRYMORE LAWNS and the Norfolk real estate market
Doummar Drive sits in the northeastern corner of Norfolk, a city that consistently ranks among the most livable in coastal Virginia. The surrounding streets have a settled, residential feel — mature trees, single-family homes on established lots, and neighbors who tend to stay a while. This part of Norfolk is sometimes called the Ocean View corridor, a broad stretch of the city's north side where the vibe is noticeably more relaxed than downtown. You're close enough to the water to feel it in the breeze without paying waterfront premiums. Norfolk itself is a city of real neighborhoods, each with its own personality, and this corner of the 23518 zip code delivers quiet streets without sacrificing access. The city's parks, dining scene, and arts community are all within a reasonable drive, and the road network here makes commuting to either base — or anywhere else in Hampton Roads — genuinely straightforward.

For first-time buyers
If you're stepping into homeownership for the first time, a 1956 ranch with 1,858 square feet gives you real space to grow into — not a starter-home compromise. The neighborhood is established and low-drama, the commute to both nearby bases is short, and walkable groceries and gyms mean you won't feel car-dependent from day one.
