Timeless Bungalow Character, Thoughtfully Updated
Classic architectural character and well-considered improvements come together in this inviting bungalow-style home. A welcoming enclosed front sunporch—heated and air-conditioned for year-round enjoyment—sets the tone, while original heart-of-pine floors, plantation shutters, dentil molding, and rich millwork bring warmth and authenticity throughout.
The main level offers the convenience of a primary bedroom and a beautifully remodeled kitchen completed in 2022. Crisp white Shaker-style cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a Bosch gas range, and a tile backsplash create a bright, polished space that feels both stylish and practical.
Upstairs are three additional bedrooms and an updated full bathroom featuring a classic clawfoot tub. One of the bedrooms includes two walk-in closets, custom finished by Closet Factory. The home’s comfortable, light-filled interiors preserve its historic charm while providing the spaces and amenities desired for modern living.
Outdoors, a private fenced backyard creates a lovely setting for relaxing and entertaining. The concrete patio, accented with a stamped-brick border, flows into a landscaped lawn with professionally installed sod and a French drainage system. Wood privacy fencing surrounds the rear and sides, complemented by attractive black aluminum fencing and a gated driveway entrance.
An oversized, structurally reinforced garage offers exceptional flexibility, with a raised concrete slab, updated electrical service and subpanel, and lofted attic space for generous storage. Additional improvements include a two-zone central HVAC system, supplemental natural-gas radiant heat, a Rinnai tankless water heater, updated crawl-space insulation and moisture barrier, and extensive roof work completed in 2019. Asbestos and oil-tank abatement are scheduled for completion in August 2026.
Rich in original character and enhanced by years of thoughtful care, this charming bungalow offers comfortable everyday living, flexible space, and an inviting private backyard—all ready for its next chapter.
Larchmont, including its picturesque Edgewater section, is a historically rich and inviting neighborhood in Norfolk, VA, with roots tracing back to 1906. Originally farmland, this area was transformed when a group of Norfolk businessmen purchased approximately 200 acres in the northwest portion of Norfolk County for development. They began laying out streets, sidewalks, and landscaping, and by 1912, had built and sold 64 homes. Despite initial skepticism about the location's convenience, the development thrived with the introduction of the Larchmont Jitney bus line, which connected the neighborhood to downtown Norfolk.
Today, Larchmont and Edgewater are renowned for their charming mix of Colonial Revival, Victorian, and Craftsman bungalow styles, with some new construction blending seamlessly into the historic fabric. The neighborhoods are bordered by the Lafayette River to the east and north, the Elizabeth River to the west, and Old Dominion University to the south, providing a blend of scenic waterfront views and urban convenience.
With over 2,300 homes, the area is known for its tree-lined streets, well-preserved architecture, and vibrant community. Residents enjoy easy access to downtown Norfolk and the Norfolk Naval Operations Base, as well as proximity to Old Dominion University, which includes a small business district with a market, restaurants, and the Ted Constant Center for live music and entertainment. Larchmont and Edgewater offer a tranquil suburban atmosphere with a strong sense of community, making them highly desirable places to live.
