New Exterior Paint September 2011!!! Wonderful 1870 Victorian with space for the whole family and located in the heart of Norfolk. This is the first time the property has been on the market in many, many years. There are four to seven bedrooms and two and a half baths. The rooms are very spacious and have high ceilings and wooden floors. There are two outbuildings with space for parking three cars. The house rests on a half acre lot and there is another almost 1.5 acre adjoining parcel with a private drive which could be a beautiful building lot!
