Why this home stands out
What sets 801 Fontaine Avenue apart is the combination of genuine square footage and a three-full-bath layout in a 1967 build — a configuration that's harder to find than you'd expect at this size. Four bedrooms give you real flexibility: a dedicated home office, a guest room, and still room to grow. The mid-century bones mean solid construction, and the lot gives you outdoor space without overwhelming upkeep.
VENTOSA WEST and the Norfolk real estate market
801 Fontaine Avenue sits in Norfolk's 23502 zip code, a residential corridor on the city's east side that balances quiet streets with genuinely convenient access to everything Hampton Roads has to offer. If you've been searching for a house for sale in Norfolk VA with quick commutes and a lived-in neighborhood feel, this part of the city delivers. Norfolk itself is one of the most dynamic cities on the East Coast — home to a deep-water port, a thriving arts scene, and a military community that shapes the culture in the best possible ways. The surrounding streets are lined with mid-century homes on established lots, giving the area a grounded, mature character that newer developments simply can't replicate. You're close enough to downtown Norfolk to enjoy its restaurants and waterfront, but far enough removed to come home to genuine quiet. Norfolk Naval Shipyard is just eight minutes away, and USCG Base Portsmouth is a seven-minute drive — making this address one of the more strategically located options in the region for service members and civilian employees alike.
What's nearby
Daily errands are straightforward from Fontaine Avenue. Janaf Shopping Center is just minutes away, putting grocery stores, pharmacies, and a range of retail under one roof without a long drive. Military Circle area adds more dining and shopping options nearby. For green space, Lake Taylor and its surrounding park offer a natural retreat close to home. Getting around Hampton Roads is easy — Interstate 64 access is close, connecting you to Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel without fighting your way across the city first. Coffee shops and casual dining options dot the surrounding commercial corridors, so morning routines stay simple.
