About this home

Welcome Home to 711 W. 27th Street Some homes simply provide a place to live. Others become the backdrop for life's greatest moments. Tucked into one of Norfolk's most charming and evolving neighborhoods, this beautifully updated home offers the perfect balance of historic character and modern comfort. Whether you're purchasing your very first home, simplifying into a space that's easier to enjoy, or looking for a home that fits your lifestyle without sacrificing quality, this property welcomes you from the moment you arrive. Imagine starting your mornings with coffee in your private fenced backyard, spending evenings grilling with friends, or taking a short drive to enjoy the restaurants, shops, parks, waterfront, and vibrant culture that make Norfolk such a special place to call home. Inside, every update has been thoughtfully completed so you can focus less on projects and more on making memories. The bright, inviting living spaces create the perfect setting for movie nights, holiday gatherings, quiet mornings, or simply unwinding after a long day. The modern kitchen is designed for everything from quick weekday breakfasts to hosting family and friends. With off-street parking, updated systems, and low-maintenance living, this home offers peace of mind while preserving the warmth and personality that newer construction often lacks. For military families, healthcare professionals, university staff, or anyone wanting convenient access to Naval Station Norfolk, ODU, EVMS, downtown, and the surrounding Hampton Roads area, this location places work, recreation, and community all within easy reach. This isn't just a two-bedroom home. It's the place where a young couple buys their first house. Where a professional enjoys the freedom of owning instead of renting. Where someone beginning a new chapter finds comfort, security, and pride in a home that's truly their own. It's a place to celebrate and build a life. Because the best homes aren't measured only by square footage. They're measured by the memories waiting to be made inside.

Why this home stands out

Built in 1924, this bungalow carries the kind of architectural bones that newer construction simply can't replicate — think original-era proportions, a tight and efficient floor plan, and a street presence that fits right into one of Norfolk's most established residential corridors. At 860 square feet, every room earns its place, and the two-bedroom, one-bath layout works especially well for anyone who values quality of location over sheer quantity of space.

OLD DOMINION PLACE and the Norfolk real estate market

West 27th Street sits in a mature, tree-lined section of Norfolk where the housing stock dates back a century and the streets have a settled, lived-in feel. The blocks around this address are a mix of similarly scaled bungalows and craftsman-era homes, giving the corridor a cohesive character you won't find in newer subdivisions. If you're searching for a house for sale in Norfolk VA with genuine neighborhood roots rather than a freshly stamped cul-de-sac, this part of the city delivers. Norfolk itself is a dense, walkable, and historically rich independent city — home to one of the largest naval installations on the East Coast, a thriving arts and dining scene downtown, and waterfront access that defines daily life for many residents. The 23508 zip code in particular sits in a sweet spot: close enough to the medical district and the bases to the south, yet buffered by residential blocks that feel genuinely quiet.

What's nearby

Daily errands are straightforward from 711 W 27th St. Ghent — Norfolk's most walkable mixed-use neighborhood — is just a short drive west, putting coffee shops, independent restaurants, and boutique retail within easy reach. Colley Avenue's dining corridor is similarly close. For groceries, you have multiple options within a few minutes in any direction. Larchmont-Edgewater Park and the Lafayette River waterfront are nearby for outdoor time. Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is four minutes south, and USCG Base Portsmouth is five minutes away — making this address genuinely practical for anyone whose daily commute runs toward the water.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Four minutes to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and five to USCG Base Portsmouth — the commute math here is hard to argue with. For a service member or medical staff professional looking to put down roots in Norfolk, a VA loan can make a property like this especially accessible, and the location means you're spending your mornings driving, not sitting in traffic.

For first-time buyers

At 860 square feet, 711 W 27th St is a manageable first step into homeownership — lower utility costs, a defined scope for any updates you want to make, and a price point that reflects the footprint. The 1924 build date means there's real character here, and the location in established Norfolk puts you close to everything without the chaos of a major thoroughfare. A smart, grounded place to start.
