Why this home stands out

Built in 1955, this home carries the solid bones of mid-century construction. Three bedrooms and two full baths give you flexibility for a home office, guest room, or hobby space.

PIEDMONT HEIGHTS and the Portsmouth real estate market

Piedmont Heights is a close-knit residential neighborhood where tree-lined streets and modest single-family homes define the character. You're walking distance to Lansing Park, a neighborhood gathering spot perfect for morning walks or weekend time outdoors. The community sits in the heart of Portsmouth, a historic port city with deep maritime roots and a waterfront renaissance underway. Getting around is straightforward: downtown Portsmouth is about two miles south, and the Elizabeth River waterfront is within reach for anyone exploring the city's revitalized core. Homes for sale in 23704 span a range of ages and styles, but Piedmont Heights stands out for its walkability and proximity to local restaurants and services. If you're comparing homes for sale in Portsmouth, note that this neighborhood offers that rare blend of quiet streets and urban convenience.
