About this home

The listing, in the seller's words

Tucked along a tranquil street, this home delivers curb appeal and modern upgrades. Warm neutral tones and rich hardwood floors give the home a polished and inviting energy.

The dine-in layout keeps the conversation flowing, whether hosting a dinner party or a weeknight meal. Retreat to the primary suite. The spa-inspired en-suite and 2 walk-in closets make coming home feel luxurious. Two additional bedrooms share an updated bathroom. A large basement offers flexible space. On nearly half an acre, the fully-fenced backyard is your private escape, relax on the expansive deck overlooking Owens Creek, cast a line from the water's edge, or take in the natural surroundings. A well-sized storage shed keeps your gear organized and ready for the next adventure. Ideally located near Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, with easy access to everything Hampton Roads has to offer. Back on market. No fault of sellers: buyers had a change in plans.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 124 Armstrong Street apart is its rare combination of mid-century character and an almost unbeatable location for military medical personnel. You're literally one minute from Naval Medical Center Portsmouth — a commute that barely qualifies as a drive. Three full bathrooms across 2,000 square feet gives everyone in the household room to breathe, and the 1948 bones bring the kind of architectural detail that newer construction simply doesn't replicate.

WEST PARK VIEW and the Portsmouth real estate market

124 Armstrong Street sits in a mature, established pocket of Portsmouth, Virginia — a city with deep naval roots and a genuine sense of place. The streets here are tree-lined and walkable, with a mix of mid-century homes that have stood the test of time. Portsmouth's historic Old Towne district is just minutes away, offering waterfront dining, independent shops, and a lively arts scene along the Elizabeth River. The city itself is one of the most strategically located in Hampton Roads — bordered by Norfolk to the east and connected by the Downtown Tunnel and the High Street Landing ferry. For military families, Portsmouth is a practical choice: multiple installations are within a short drive, and the community has grown up around that reality for generations. Day-to-day life here feels grounded and unhurried, with real neighborhoods, real neighbors, and a city government that has invested steadily in revitalization without losing the character that makes Portsmouth worth calling home.

What's nearby

Daily errands are easy from Armstrong Street. Food Lion and Old Towne Market Place are both within half a mile for groceries. When dinner plans fall through, Pie-O-Neer Pizza and Halal Shack are each about four-tenths of a mile away, with Domino's Pizza just a bit further. Coffee is covered by Green Beans Coffee at the Portsmouth Naval Hospital NEX and a Starbucks Coffee Company within six-tenths of a mile. For fitness, NMC Portsmouth Gym and Riverview Aquatics Center are both under half a mile. Owens Creek Park is just two-tenths of a mile away for a quick walk, and Fort Nelson Park and Crawford Park round out the green space options nearby.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

For active-duty personnel and medical staff at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, 124 Armstrong Street is about as close as it gets — one minute by car, walkable on a good day. Three full bathrooms handle the chaos of shift-work schedules, and using a VA loan to purchase a home this close to base is a move that makes long-term sense for anyone planning multiple years in the area.

For buyers drawn to character

Built in 1948, 124 Armstrong Street carries the hallmarks of mid-century Portsmouth construction — proportioned rooms, solid craftsmanship, and details that give a home personality rather than just square footage. If you're drawn to homes with a real story and prefer character over cookie-cutter, this street and this era deliver exactly that.
