Why this home stands out
Built in 2017, this home skips the guesswork that comes with older Portsmouth stock. You get modern construction standards — updated systems, contemporary finishes, and a layout designed for how people actually live today — inside a walkable, established neighborhood with genuine character. Four bedrooms and a half bath on the main level give you flexibility whether you need a home office, a guest room, or space to grow.
TRUXTON and the Portsmouth real estate market
Truxton is one of Portsmouth's most recognizable grid neighborhoods, with tree-lined streets, a tight-knit community feel, and a location that puts you close to nearly everything the city offers. The blocks here carry a sense of history — sidewalks, mature trees, and neighbors who actually know each other. For anyone exploring real estate portsmouth has to offer, Truxton stands out as a neighborhood where newer construction like this one coexists with the area's classic residential character. Portsmouth itself sits at the heart of Hampton Roads, bordered by the Elizabeth River and connected to Norfolk, Chesapeake, and Suffolk by a web of bridges and tunnels. The city has invested steadily in its waterfront, its arts scene, and its historic Olde Towne district, giving residents a downtown worth exploring on foot or by bike. Living at 120 Truxton Ave means you're woven into all of that — the community, the convenience, and the city's ongoing momentum.

For different buyers
For military families relocating
Norfolk Naval Shipyard is roughly five minutes from the front door, and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is six. That kind of proximity makes a real difference when schedules are unpredictable and every minute counts. A VA loan can make this 2017-built home even more accessible — and with BAH rates for the Portsmouth area, the numbers often work out well for active-duty households.
For families upgrading
Four bedrooms built in 2017 means you're not inheriting someone else's deferred maintenance — the bones are young, the systems are current, and the layout gives every family member room to breathe. Add a half bath on the main level, nearly 2,000 square feet, and a walkable neighborhood with three parks inside half a mile, and this is a home that grows with you.
