Why this home stands out
Homes with this combination of genuine 19th-century architecture, five bedrooms, and over 3,500 square feet are rare anywhere in Hampton Roads — rarer still when they sit one minute from both USCG Base Portsmouth and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth. London Street places you inside one of Virginia's most walkable and historically significant urban neighborhoods, where the waterfront, local dining, and neighborhood parks are all within a short stroll.
OLDE TOWNE and the Portsmouth real estate market
106 London Street sits in Olde Towne Portsmouth, one of the oldest and most architecturally intact neighborhoods on the East Coast. The streets here are lined with Federal, Greek Revival, and Victorian homes dating back centuries, giving the area a sense of place you simply can't manufacture. Portsmouth itself is a working waterfront city with deep naval and maritime roots, and Olde Towne is its crown jewel — a walkable, tight-knit community where neighbors know each other and local businesses thrive at street level. The Elizabeth River runs along the neighborhood's eastern edge, and the passenger ferry to downtown Norfolk departs just blocks away, making cross-harbor commutes genuinely easy. As a primary keyword for this address, homes for sale in Portsmouth's Olde Towne are consistently among the most searched in the region precisely because supply is limited and the character is irreplaceable. Whether you're drawn by the history, the walkability, the proximity to the bases, or simply the scale of the homes here, London Street delivers all of it in one address.
What's nearby
Daily life at 106 London Street is remarkably convenient. Crawford Restaurant, Peter's Market, and Thyme On The River are all within a tenth of a mile for a quick meal or a leisurely dinner. Olde Towne Coffee is a two-minute walk for your morning cup, and a Wawa and Cure are both within half a mile. Groceries are covered by Simply Southern Market of Hampton Roads, Market Street & General Store, and Bier Garden Gift Shop & Market — all within 0.3 miles. For fitness, Movement Studio VA is right around the corner, with the Effingham Street Family YMCA and Riverview Aquatics Center both reachable in under a mile. Marquis De Lafayette Park is essentially at your doorstep, with River Front Park and Portside Park just a block away.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
With USCG Base Portsmouth and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth each just one minute away, 106 London Street is about as close to both installations as you can get without living on base. A VA loan can make a home of this size and age more accessible than many buyers expect, and the commute overhead here is essentially zero — leaving more time for everything else that matters.
For buyers drawn to character
If you've been searching for a home with genuine bones — not a reinterpretation of historic style, but the real thing — 106 London Street was built in 1895 and has the scale to match its age. Five bedrooms and 3,563 square feet inside one of Virginia's most celebrated historic districts means you're not just buying a house; you're becoming part of a neighborhood with a story that stretches back centuries.
