About this home

Check out this unique gem of a Victorian tucked away in the cute neighborhood of West View Park right off of the Elizabeth River and Scott's Creek.

Enjoy the refinished hardwood floors and great layout of the first floor with 2 decorative fireplaces, a large living and dining area. The side yard with its large deck is a gardener's delight with raised beds and plenty of room to plant more. The first bedroom upstairs would make a great office or nursery. You may access the 4th spacious bedroom via the 3rd bedroom. Great proximity to downtown Portsmouth with great restaurants, The Children's Museum, shopping, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Museum among others. Close to bases, beaches, highways.
