Our read on this home

Why this home stands out

Homes that clear 2,900 square feet in Portsmouth's established residential corridors are genuinely rare, and 2736 Sterling Point Drive delivers that scale in a 1952 build that carries the kind of solid mid-century construction you don't find in newer subdivisions. Three full bathrooms for three bedrooms means nobody is sharing, and the lot gives you real outdoor space rather than a postage-stamp yard.

STERLING POINT and the Portsmouth real estate market

Sterling Point Drive sits in a mature, tree-lined section of Portsmouth — a city that rewards people who take the time to explore it. Portsmouth is one of Hampton Roads' original port cities, and the neighborhoods along this corridor have a settled, unhurried character that newer developments simply can't replicate. Streets here are wide, lots are generous, and neighbors tend to stay for decades. The broader area is sometimes called the Sterling Point neighborhood, positioned in the northern part of Portsmouth near the water and close to the city's main commercial arteries. Portsmouth itself offers a genuine small-city feel with a working waterfront, a walkable Olde Towne historic district, and easy access to the rest of Hampton Roads via the Downtown and Midtown tunnels. You're in Portsmouth — a city that's been quietly improving its parks, its dining scene, and its infrastructure while keeping home prices grounded.

What's nearby

Day-to-day errands are straightforward from Sterling Point Drive. Grocery options, pharmacies, and a range of fast-casual and sit-down dining are all within a short drive along the nearby commercial corridors. Churchland and the broader Western Branch area of Chesapeake are just minutes away, adding more retail and restaurant variety. For outdoor time, the city's park system and the Elizabeth River Trail network are accessible without a long commute. The Portsmouth waterfront and Olde Towne district — with its galleries, coffee shops, and historic architecture — are roughly fifteen minutes south, making a weekend outing genuinely easy.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is nine minutes away and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is ten — making 2736 Sterling Point Drive one of the better-positioned addresses in the region for dual-base households or anyone assigned to either installation. The VA loan program pairs well with a property this size, and the commute math works whether you're on day shift or rotating hours.

For families upgrading

Nearly 3,000 square feet means everyone gets real space — not just a slightly larger version of what you already have. Three full bathrooms eliminate the morning bottleneck entirely, and the 1952 footprint typically means larger rooms and more defined living areas than open-plan builds of the same square footage. The established neighborhood adds a stability that newer subdivisions are still working toward.

What can you tell me about the age and construction of the home?
