Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Built in 1910, this home carries authentic period character—original woodwork, classic proportions, and the craftsmanship of its era. The layout flows naturally across three bedrooms and two full baths, anchoring homes for sale in 23704 with real bones and livable square footage. You're steps from grocery, restaurants, and fitness options, yet minutes from two major military installations. That rare combination of walkable neighborhood life and short-commute practicality sets this address apart.

BRIGHTON and the Portsmouth real estate market

Chestnut Street sits in a working neighborhood where daily errands happen on foot. Church Food Mart is a tenth of a mile away; Emma's Restaurant and Lil Mammas soul kitchen are two blocks down. You'll find Jefferson Park and Lansing Park nearby for outdoor time. Portsmouth itself is a waterfront city with deep naval and maritime roots. Downtown Portsmouth lies a short drive north, offering shops, galleries, and riverfront dining along the Elizabeth River. Getting around is straightforward—major routes connect easily to Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and the wider Hampton Roads region. If you are comparing homes for sale zoned for Manor High School or homes for sale zoned for Brighton Elementary School, note that this address offers that school assignment plus the walkability and base proximity that matter most to many buyers here.

What's nearby

Groceries are genuinely close: Church Food Mart is 0.1 miles away, with Save & Save Supermarket and Amoco within half a mile. For eating out, Emma's Restaurant, Lil Mammas soul kitchen, and Ziggy's Street Eats are all within three blocks. Mariner's Reef Cafe and 7-Eleven handle coffee runs in under five minutes on foot. Fitness options include Callaghan Gym and Fitness Center and Brikhouse Boxing and Fitness nearby, plus Effingham Street Family YMCA less than a mile away. Jefferson Park and Lansing Park sit within walking distance for recreation and fresh air.

For different buyers

Room to grow

Three bedrooms and two full baths spread across 1,600 square feet, giving you room to grow without excess space to maintain. The layout supports a home office, guest room, and primary suite.
