Why this home stands out

Built in 1913, this home carries real Craftsman bones—original woodwork, period details, and a footprint that feels intentional. The three-bath layout is uncommon for its era and size. A single-story living arrangement means no stairs between main rooms. The lot sits on a quieter stretch of Forbes Street, away from heavy traffic. You get both charm and everyday livability in one package.

CHESTERFIELD HEIGHTS and the Norfolk real estate market

Chesterfield Heights is a historic neighborhood where tree-canopied streets and early-1900s homes define the character. Brick and wood-frame houses line blocks that feel established and grounded. The neighborhood sits close to downtown Norfolk and the Elizabeth River waterfront. Getting around is straightforward—Forbes Street connects easily to the main arteries. You're within a few minutes of shops, restaurants, and parks. Norfolk itself is a working waterfront city with deep roots in military history and maritime tradition. The downtown core has been revitalized over the past decade. If you're comparing homes for sale in Norfolk, note that Chesterfield Heights offers that rare blend of walkable urban feel and residential quiet.
