About this home
Welcome to this beautifully rehabilitated 3-story traditional home in Norfolk’s Villa Heights neighborhood. Featuring 3 bedrooms plus a versatile flex space that can serve as a 4th bedroom, home office, or bonus room, this early 1900s home blends classic character with modern updates. The navy blue vinyl exterior offers timeless curb appeal, while the interior features 2.5 bathrooms, an eat-in kitchen, and a decorative fireplace that adds charm without the upkeep of a working fireplace. Updates have been completed throughout, with major systems dating from 2019 or newer. Conveniently located near the Virginia Zoo, Lafayette Park, Ghent, Downtown Norfolk, military bases, shopping, dining, and major commuter routes. A wonderful opportunity to enjoy historic character with thoughtfully updated features.
Villa Heights, located between Lafayette Boulevard and Granby Street, is a residential and historic Norfolk neighborhood with early-20th-century bungalows and a leafy street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Granby Street corridor near the Norfolk State University edge, where corner markets, takeout counters, and campus-day foot traffic set the tempo. Brick cottages and modest Craftsman homes sit beside small apartment buildings, giving the blocks a lived-in, walkable feel. Lafayette Park and the Lafayette River shoreline shape daily routines with open lawns and water views. Nearby cultural anchors like the Chrysler Museum of Art and the Harrison Opera House add a polished arts layer to the local rhythm.
