Why this home stands out
Built in 1920, this 1,700-square-foot home carries the kind of architectural character that newer construction simply can't replicate — think the proportions and craftsmanship of the early twentieth century paired with a lot that puts Turnpike Park literally steps from your front door. Four bedrooms and three full baths on 0.07 acres in a tight-knit urban neighborhood means you get real living space without a yard that eats your weekends.
ALL OTHERS AREA 21 and the Portsmouth real estate market
Mount Hermon is one of Portsmouth's established residential pockets — a compact, walkable grid of older homes with genuine neighborhood identity. Streets here have a lived-in quality: front porches, mature trees, and neighbors who actually know each other. Portsmouth itself is one of the seven cities of Hampton Roads, sitting on the western bank of the Elizabeth River directly across from Norfolk. It's a city with deep maritime roots, a revitalized Old Towne district, and a cost of living that tends to run more accessible than its neighbors across the water. Mount Hermon sits in the southern portion of the city, which means you're close to the waterfront character of Portsmouth without being far from the regional highway network. For anyone who values walkability, proximity to green space, and a neighborhood with real history rather than a freshly poured subdivision, Mount Hermon delivers something increasingly rare in Hampton Roads.
What's nearby
Turnpike Park is just 0.1 miles away — an easy walk for morning routines or an afternoon with kids. Scotts Creek Park and Kinley Park are both within 0.4 miles, giving you multiple green-space options. Groceries are covered by Old Towne Market Place and Food Lion, both about 0.4 miles out. For a quick bite, Da Snacc Attacc Restaurant and Lounge is 0.3 miles away, with China Ocean and America's Best Wings rounding out nearby dining at 0.4 miles. Coffee runs are straightforward — Starbucks Coffee Company, Dunkin', and McDonald's are all under a mile. The Effingham Street Family YMCA sits 0.9 miles out for fitness needs.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard are each roughly a three-minute drive from 1913 County Street — about as close as it gets in Hampton Roads. For active-duty households where commute time directly affects quality of life, that proximity is hard to overstate. A VA loan can make ownership here straightforward, and four bedrooms gives growing military families genuine room to settle in.
For buyers drawn to character
If you're drawn to homes that have a story — thick walls, old-growth proportions, and a streetscape that didn't come from a master-planned developer — 1913 County Street is worth a serious look. A 1920 build in Mount Hermon means you're getting a century of architectural integrity, in a neighborhood where that character is the norm rather than the exception. This is the kind of address people hold onto for decades.
