About this home
Classic charm meets modern style at 1237 30th Street. This extensively renovated 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers 1,479 square feet with a HVAC system, windows, flooring, and trim, plus an all-new kitchen and beautifully renovated bathrooms. A welcoming covered front porch with natural-wood accents and contrasting black railings sets the tone. Inside, light wood-look flooring, recessed lighting, and a fresh neutral palette create a bright, inviting atmosphere. Connected living and dining spaces offer an easy flow for everyday living and entertaining, while a striking black-and-white staircase adds character. The new kitchen features white shaker-style cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, a subway-tile backsplash, and sleek dark hardware. Both renovated bathrooms complement the home’s updated style with contemporary fixtures and attractive tilework. Four bedrooms provide flexibility for sleeping, guests, or a home office, while the backyard offers room to create your own outdoor retreat. From morning coffee on the front porch to gatherings inside, this Newport News home brings together classic character, fresh finishes, and substantial upgrades.
Newsome, located between Jefferson Avenue and Warwick Boulevard, is a residential and historic Newport News neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and brick civic landmarks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Newsome Park Community Center and the surrounding streets, where courts, fields, and gathering spaces set an active, local rhythm. Newsome Park anchors the landscape with open lawns and recreation facilities beside classic mid-century homes and long-established streetscapes. The Newsome House Museum & Cultural Center adds a focused cultural note tied to the area’s roots. Nearby, the Downing-Gross Cultural Arts Center and the Newport News Park Discovery Center extend the calendar with exhibits and nature programming. Daily errands and dining cluster along Jefferson Avenue, while the James River shoreline frames the broader setting.
