Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 3904 Shannon Road apart is the combination of a generous four-bedroom floor plan and three full baths inside a compact 1,624-square-foot footprint — a layout that's genuinely rare in early-1960s Portsmouth ranches. Add a 0.22-acre lot with real yard space and two major military installations reachable in under ten minutes, and you have an address that works hard for a wide range of households.

CASTLE HEIGHTS and the Portsmouth real estate market

Castle Heights sits in the northwestern corner of Portsmouth, a city that often surprises people searching beyond the usual gloucester county homes for sale radius — because Portsmouth delivers mature trees, established streets, and a genuine sense of community without the new-construction price tag. Shannon Road itself is a quiet residential street where the lots run a respectable size and neighbors tend to stick around. The broader Castle Heights area has the feel of a neighborhood that was thoughtfully laid out in the postwar era and has aged gracefully: wide lots, brick ranches, and sidewalks that actually get used. Portsmouth as a whole offers easy access to the rest of Hampton Roads via I-664 and the Western Freeway, making cross-harbor commutes manageable. Whether you're heading into Chesapeake, Suffolk, or across the water to Norfolk, the location keeps your options open without locking you into heavy tunnel traffic.

What's nearby

Daily errands and downtime are both easy from 3904 Shannon Road. A 7-Eleven sits just 0.7 miles away for quick coffee runs or last-minute grabs. When you want a sit-down meal, China Li Chinese Cuisine is at the same distance — a neighborhood staple for a reliable weeknight dinner. Game Face, also 0.7 miles out, rounds out the close-in dining options. For families with kids in baseball or softball, Churchland Little League Baseball Fields are less than a mile away — a genuine weekend convenience when the season is running.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

NSA Northwest Annex is a six-minute drive from the front door, and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is eight minutes out — making 3904 Shannon Road one of the more strategically located addresses in this zip code for active-duty households. Your VA loan goes a long way on a four-bedroom, three-bath home at this square footage, and BAH rates for the Portsmouth area are calibrated to this market.

For families upgrading

Four bedrooms and three full baths give a growing household real breathing room — separate spaces for kids, a dedicated guest bath, and a primary suite that doesn't require sharing. The 0.22-acre lot adds outdoor space that a townhome or smaller ranch simply can't match, and Churchland Little League Baseball Fields less than a mile away means game days don't require a long drive.
