Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Six bedrooms and four full baths in a single-family home is genuinely rare at this size in Norfolk, and 3,700 square feet on a 0.28-acre lot gives you the kind of breathing room that most city addresses simply can't offer. The 1953 construction means solid mid-century bones — think thick walls, generous room proportions, and a lot footprint that newer infill builds rarely match. Granby Shores adds a water-adjacent neighborhood character that makes the address feel like a destination, not just a place to sleep.

GRANBY SHORES and the Norfolk real estate market

Granby Shores sits in the northeastern corner of Norfolk, tucked between the Chesapeake Bay shoreline and the broad reach of the Lafayette River. It's a quietly established community — the kind of neighborhood where mature trees line the streets and neighbors actually know each other's names. The streets here have a residential calm that feels removed from the city's busier corridors, yet you're never far from anything you need. If you've been browsing homes for sale norfolk va, Granby Shores tends to stand out because of that rare combination: genuine waterfront proximity, large lots, and an easy commute corridor that connects you to the rest of Hampton Roads in minutes. Norfolk itself is a city with real texture — independent restaurants, a working waterfront, cultural venues, and a military community that gives the city its distinctive energy. The Granby Shores section of Norfolk carries all of that character while adding a neighborhood-scale intimacy that larger subdivisions rarely achieve.

What's nearby

Breezy Point Park is just 0.2 miles away — an easy walk for morning routines or evening wind-downs. Packwalk and a neighborhood park are both within half a mile, so outdoor time is genuinely convenient. Mom & Pops Family Restaurant is under a mile away for a low-key sit-down meal, and multiple 7-Eleven locations within 0.9 miles cover quick coffee and grab-and-go needs. Fitness options are well-represented nearby: CrossFit Norfolk and Ov Fit are both about a mile out, and the Aviation Water Survival Training Center (ASTC) Norfolk is just 0.9 miles away — a useful detail for active-duty personnel.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Four minutes to Naval Station Norfolk and five minutes to MARFORCOM Norfolk — 8504 Culfor Crescent is about as well-positioned as a Norfolk address gets for active-duty households. Six bedrooms means everyone has space, and a VA loan can make a home this size more accessible than many families expect. BAH rates in this zip code tend to align well with what a property of this scale offers.

For families upgrading

If your current home has you counting square footage and sharing bathrooms, 8504 Culfor Crescent offers a different kind of daily life. Six bedrooms and four full baths across 3,700 square feet means dedicated space for work-from-home setups, guests, and kids at every stage. The nearly third-acre lot adds outdoor room that's hard to find this close to the water in Norfolk.
