Built in 1924, this Craftsman bungalow blends historic character with thoughtful updates while maintaining its original appeal. Freshly painted inside and a new water vapor barrier underneath, this home is ready for its new owner to move in immediately. Inside you'll find 1,016 square feet of living space with 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath and an easy, functional layout. The full-width front porch creates a welcoming entrance and a great place to relax, while the fenced backyard offers room for gardening, pets, or entertaining. Conveniently located near downtown Norfolk, the interstate, shopping, dining, and military bases, this home is a great fit for anyone looking for character, walkability, and a home that doesn't feel like every other house on the market.
