About this home

Some homes offer history. This one invites you to become part of it. Built in 1860, the same year Abraham Lincoln was elected President, this beautifully maintained Federal-style home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates in the heart of Olde Towne Portsmouth. Original pine floors, refreshed bathrooms, and an updated kitchen with solid surface countertops and quality cabinetry preserve the home's character while providing the comforts of modern living. Recent improvements include a new HVAC system (2023) and updated sewer and water lines for added peace of mind. A rare double lot creates a private, fenced backyard with an oversized shed featuring electric and water. Located on one of Olde Towne's most historic streets with convenient off-street parking and just blocks from local restaurants, shops, and entertainment, this is an opportunity to become the next steward of a remarkable piece of Portsmouth's history.

Why this home stands out

Few addresses in Hampton Roads can claim a build year of 1860 and still deliver four full bedrooms with room to spread out. This Court Street property sits at the intersection of genuine 19th-century architecture and an extraordinarily walkable urban block — with two military installations literally around the corner, a raw bar a tenth of a mile away, and a riverfront park two blocks out. History and daily convenience rarely share the same address.

OLDE TOWNE and the Portsmouth real estate market

Court Street runs through the heart of Olde Towne Portsmouth, one of the oldest and most architecturally intact neighborhoods in Virginia. The blocks here are lined with antebellum and Victorian-era homes that have been standing since before the Civil War — and 361 is among them. Olde Towne carries a genuine urban energy: brick sidewalks, mature trees, and a waterfront that anchors the whole district. Portsmouth itself sits across the Elizabeth River from Norfolk, connected by the Pedestrian Ferry and the Downtown Tunnel, giving residents quick access to the broader Hampton Roads metro without sacrificing the character of a walkable historic district. Families comparing homes for sale in Portsmouth consistently note how different Olde Towne feels from the sprawling suburban corridors elsewhere in the region — it's a neighborhood with a real sense of place, shaped by centuries of maritime and civic history.

What's nearby

Daily life at 361 Court Street is exceptionally walkable. Fish & Slips Marina Raw Bar & Grill is just 0.1 miles away — practically your front yard for waterside dining. Crawford Levee Park and Portside Park are both within two blocks, and Needle Beach offers a casual outdoor escape at the same distance. For coffee, Olde Towne Coffee is a short stroll at 0.3 miles, with a Starbucks and Wawa both under half a mile. Grocery runs are easy with Simply Southern Market of Hampton Roads, Market Street & General Store, and Bier Garden Gift Shop & Market all within 0.3 miles. Crawford Restaurant and Gino's Pizzeria round out the dining options nearby. Movement Studio VA, Riverview Aquatics Center, and Effingham Street Family YMCA cover fitness within 0.7 miles.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

USCG Base Portsmouth and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth are each about a one-minute drive — or an easy walk — from the front door. That kind of proximity is rare even by Hampton Roads standards. Servicemembers using a VA loan will find that a 164-year-old home with four bedrooms and two baths this close to two installations is a genuinely uncommon find among Portsmouth homes for sale.

For buyers drawn to character

If you've been searching for a home with documented age, architectural bones, and a neighborhood that actually has a story — 361 Court Street is worth a long look. Built in 1860, it predates most of what surrounds it in Hampton Roads. Families and buyers comparing homes for sale zoned for Norcom High School and homes for sale zoned for Park View Elementary School will find this block sits inside a district with genuine historic depth, not just vintage aesthetics.
