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

Built in 1860, this home carries the architectural character of Portsmouth's most storied neighborhood. The bones are solid, the lot is generous, and the location is unbeatable—less than a minute to two major military installations. Daily life means walking to coffee, groceries, and waterfront parks. If you're comparing Portsmouth homes for sale, the proximity and period charm stand out.

OLDE TOWNE and the Portsmouth real estate market

Court Street runs through the heart of historic Old Towne Portsmouth, where brick rowhouses and Victorian-era homes line tree-shaded blocks. The neighborhood pulses with local energy: independent shops, family-owned restaurants, and the Elizabeth River waterfront draw residents and visitors alike. You're surrounded by Crawford Levee Park, Portside Park, and Needle Beach—all within a short walk. Portsmouth itself is a working waterfront city with deep naval and maritime roots. Getting around is easy on foot or by car; the downtown core is compact and pedestrian-friendly. Naval Station Norfolk lies about 15 minutes south, while Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and USCG Base Portsmouth are just minutes away. Anyone comparing homes for sale in 23704 will notice the walkability and waterfront access here.

What's nearby

Fish & Slips Marina Raw Bar & Grill is steps away at the water's edge. Crawford Restaurant and Gino's Pizzeria sit a short walk up the street. Coffee runs to Olde Towne Coffee or Starbucks take just a few minutes. Groceries are close at Simply Southern Market of Hampton Roads, Market Street & General Store, and Bier Garden Gift Shop & Market. For fitness, Movement Studio VA is nearby, with Riverview Aquatics Center and Effingham Street Family YMCA a bit further out. Parks—Crawford Levee, Portside, and Needle Beach—are all within walking distance.
