Why this home stands out

Built over a century ago, this residence carries the craftsmanship and solid bones of early-20th-century construction. The four-bedroom layout offers flexibility for a home office, guest room, or hobby space. Three full baths reduce morning conflicts. The 2,367 square feet distribute across a floor plan that rewards curiosity—original details live alongside practical updates. You're steps from daily essentials and minutes from major employment centers.

GHENT and the Norfolk real estate market

West Princess Anne Road sits in Norfolk's walkable core, where tree-lined blocks connect you to restaurants, coffee shops, and parks within a few blocks. The street itself is quiet and residential, yet you're never far from the energy of the city. Norfolk is a maritime hub with deep military and civilian roots. Getting around is straightforward: major roads feed into downtown, the waterfront, and regional highways. Anyone comparing homes for sale in Norfolk will notice how this address balances neighborhood calm with urban access. The area draws people who value being able to walk to dinner, grab coffee without a car, and reach Naval Medical Center Portsmouth in about three minutes. Schools zoned for this address serve the community, and the zip code 23517 anchors a diverse mix of housing types and price points.

What's nearby

You're surrounded by convenience. The Fresh Market and Dollar General sit within a block for groceries. Vang Go Bistro, Yummy Wok, and The Taphouse Grill are all a short walk for lunch or dinner. Coffee runs to 7-Eleven, Catnip Cat Cafe, or Town Center Cold Pressed take minutes. Meyer Fitness, Flourish, and PureCore Pilates offer gym options nearby. Yellow Fever Park and Jeff Robertson Park provide green space and recreation. The Weyanoke Bird & Wildflower Sanctuary is a short drive for nature walks.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is about three minutes away by car. USCG Base Portsmouth is roughly four minutes. VA loan financing is common in this area, and the short commute means more time at home. The location supports a quick move-in if you're relocating for duty or a change of station.

Room to grow

Four bedrooms give you room to spread out—a master suite, guest bedrooms, and space for a home office or creative studio. Three full baths mean less scheduling conflict in the mornings. The 2,367-square-foot layout flows across a lot that lets you think about future projects. Older homes like this often have basements or storage that newer construction skips.
