About this home
Welcome home to this charming Arts & Crafts 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in Norfolk’s Lindenwood neighborhood!

The updated eat-in kitchen features granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances, while the rear deck is perfect for relaxing or entertaining.

Priced at the City of Norfolk’s assessed value, this home offers a unique opportunity to purchase with built-in equity.
Lindenwood-Barraud Park-Cottage Heights, located between Granby Street and Chesapeake Boulevard, is a residential and park-adjacent Norfolk neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and a greenway feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Granby Street corridor near Wards Corner, where storefronts, bakeries, and long-running local eateries keep the sidewalks active. Brick one-level homes and tidy postwar blocks mix with small apartment buildings, giving the area a practical, lived-in rhythm. Barraud Park’s open lawns and courts set a daily outdoor cadence. Community pillars nearby include The Naro Expanded Cinema, Handsome Biscuit, and Orapax Restaurant & Bar. Commuter routes fan out toward Naval Station Norfolk and Downtown without changing the neighborhood’s low-rise scale.

The purpose of the Single Family - Traditional SF-T district is to accommodate development of single-family detached dwellings at higher densities, and to support walkable development patterns in the Traditional Character District. The district also accommodates day cares, limited group living, government offices, parks and recreation centers, and minor utility facilities. District regulations discourage development that substantially interferes with the quiet residential nature of the district.
