Why this home stands out
Units this size in a 1914 building are rare in Ghent. At 1,915 square feet, #B2 gives you the square footage of a detached house wrapped in the charm of a century-old conversion. The ceilings are tall, the bones are solid, and the block puts grocery stores, restaurants, and green space within a short walk. Three bedrooms and two full baths round out a layout that handles daily life without compromise.
GHENT and the Norfolk real estate market
Graydon Avenue sits in Ghent, one of Norfolk's most walkable and architecturally distinct neighborhoods. The streets here are lined with early-twentieth-century brick buildings, mature trees, and front stoops that see real foot traffic. Ghent has a genuine neighborhood feel — coffee shops, independent restaurants, and small parks are woven into the fabric of the blocks. The housing stock mixes original condominiums, converted apartments, and single-family rowhouses, all within a compact, grid-style layout. Residents move through the neighborhood on foot or by bike as easily as by car. Norfolk itself is a mid-sized coastal city anchored by a deep-water port, a growing arts scene, and strong medical and defense employment sectors. Getting around is straightforward — Interstate 264 and the Downtown Tunnel connect Norfolk to Virginia Beach and Portsmouth quickly. Anyone comparing homes for sale in 23507 will find that this zip code places you close to the best of what the city offers.

For different buyers
Base commute and VA loan notes

For buyers drawn to character
The 1914 bones of this building are the real draw. Tall ceilings, thick walls, and period proportions give #B2 a presence that newer construction simply cannot replicate. Ghent's architectural consistency means the character extends well beyond the front door — the whole block reads like a preserved slice of early-twentieth-century Norfolk. Buyers who want a home with a story will find it here.
