Why this home stands out
Buildings from 1914 don't come along often, and Stockley Gardens delivers the real thing — original-era architecture on one of Norfolk's most photographed streets, where the tree-lined boulevard and reflecting pool set a tone that newer construction simply can't replicate. At 1,592 square feet across three bedrooms, this is a condo that lives like a proper home, tucked inside a landmark address that anchors the heart of Ghent.
GHENT and the Norfolk real estate market
Ghent is the neighborhood Norfolk residents tend to brag about, and Stockley Gardens is its crown jewel. The boulevard runs through a corridor of early-20th-century architecture, mature oaks, and a long reflecting pool that gives the street an almost European feel. Galleries, independent restaurants, wine bars, and coffee shops line the surrounding blocks, and The Hague waterfront is a short walk away. Norfolk itself is a city of genuine variety — waterfront parks, a thriving arts scene, a working port, and some of the most intact historic residential architecture in the mid-Atlantic region. Living at 812 Stockley Gardens #6 puts you at the center of it all, with everyday errands, weekend dining, and outdoor recreation all within easy reach on foot.

Press 626 Wine Bar is essentially at your doorstep, and Grand Grounds and EspressOasis are both within two blocks for your morning coffee. The Retreat Cafe is a quarter mile away when you want something more relaxed. Harris Teeter covers grocery runs at just half a mile, and The Hague Bulkhead, Raleigh Avenue Playground, and Raleigh Park are all within a tenth of a mile — perfect for a morning walk or an afternoon outside. The Blocker Norfolk Family YMCA is six-tenths of a mile away for workouts, with Fit Co as a closer alternative.
