Why this home stands out

Few addresses in Hampton Roads pack this much history, this much square footage, and this much proximity into a single parcel. Built in 1880, this multi-family structure carries the bones of Victorian-era Portsmouth while placing you — or the people who call it home — within a one-minute drive of Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and USCG Base Portsmouth. The Elizabeth River is practically at the doorstep, and Olde Towne's walkable streetscape does the rest.

OLDE TOWNE and the Portsmouth real estate market

Olde Towne Portsmouth is one of the largest intact collections of 18th- and 19th-century architecture on the East Coast, and Court Street sits at its heart. The neighborhood's brick sidewalks, gas-style lamp posts, and tree-lined blocks give it a character that newer subdivisions simply cannot replicate. Portsmouth itself is a city of genuine variety — working waterfront, arts venues, and tight-knit residential blocks all coexist within a compact footprint. For anyone comparing Portsmouth homes for sale, the 23704 zip code represents the city's most historically significant corridor. Crawford Levee Park and Portside Park are both within two blocks, and the Elizabeth River Trail connects the neighborhood to a broader network of green space. Daily life here rewards walkers and cyclists alike, and the ferry to downtown Norfolk is a short stroll away, making the entire Hampton Roads metro feel accessible without ever needing a highway.

What's nearby

Everyday errands and evenings out are both covered within a quarter mile of 318 Court Street. Fish & Slips Marina Raw Bar & Grill is 0.1 miles away for waterfront dining, and Crawford Restaurant and Gino's Pizzeria round out the options a few blocks further. Olde Towne Coffee is the neighborhood's go-to morning stop, with Starbucks and Wawa both within 0.4 miles for quick caffeine runs. Simply Southern Market of Hampton Roads, Market Street & General Store, and Bier Garden Gift Shop & Market — all within 0.3 miles — handle grocery and specialty shopping. For fitness, Movement Studio VA is a short walk, and Riverview Aquatics Center and Effingham Street Family YMCA are both under a mile. Crawford Levee Park, Portside Park, and Needle Beach are all within 0.2 miles for outdoor time along the river.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and USCG Base Portsmouth are each about one minute away — a commute that almost never exists in Hampton Roads.

VA loan eligibility makes a 143-year-old building with 3,242 square feet of space even more worth a close look.

For buyers drawn to character

If you've been searching for a property that has an actual story — not just a style — 318 Court Street delivers. Built in 1880, it stands in one of the most architecturally significant neighborhoods on the East Coast. The scale, the era, and the Olde Towne setting combine in a way that modern construction simply cannot offer. This is the kind of address that anchors homes for sale in 23704.
