Why this home stands out
Homes this close to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth are genuinely rare — we're talking about a one-minute drive, which in Hampton Roads traffic terms is essentially walking distance. Add a 1905 build that brings real architectural bones — think generous room proportions, period details, and the kind of craftsmanship that newer construction simply doesn't replicate — spread across 2,400 square feet on four bedrooms and three full baths, and this address stands in a category of its own.
