Why this home stands out
A full acre in an established Portsmouth neighborhood is genuinely rare, and 513 Water Lilly Road makes the most of it. The 2006 build means you get modern construction bones — think current code electrical, plumbing, and framing — without the quirks of a mid-century house. Four bedrooms and a half-bath on top of two full baths gives the layout real flexibility, whether you need a home office, a guest room, or space for a growing household.
NEW PORT and the Portsmouth real estate market
NEW PORT sits in the southern reaches of Portsmouth, a city with deep shipbuilding roots and a waterfront downtown that's been quietly reinventing itself for years. The neighborhood has a grounded, residential feel — wide lots, mature trees, and a pace that doesn't rush you. Portsmouth itself borders Norfolk and Chesapeake, putting you at the center of Hampton Roads without the congestion of the peninsula. If you've been searching elizabeth city homes for sale and keep getting pulled back toward Virginia, this corner of Portsmouth makes a compelling case: you're close to the water, close to major employers, and still on a street where a one-acre lot is the norm rather than the exception. Portsmouth sits in the independent city jurisdiction, so city services and infrastructure come directly through Portsmouth's own departments rather than a county layer.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are genuinely easy from Water Lilly Road. Royal Farms and Amoco are both within 0.4 miles for quick grocery and convenience runs, and Farm Fresh International is just 0.7 miles out for a fuller shop. When you'd rather someone else do the cooking, Prince Fried Chicken, Lost And Found Eatery, and Eddys Express Restaurant are all within a third of a mile. Coffee is covered too — Crossings Cafe and Starbucks Coffee Company are each about half a mile away. Outdoor time is close at hand with Woodland Park at 0.4 miles, GreenwoodSniffSpot at 0.7 miles for dog-friendly green space, and Maplewood Park rounding things out at a mile.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Norfolk Naval Shipyard is roughly seven minutes away, and USCG Base Portsmouth is about eight — both without highway driving. That kind of proximity matters when duty schedules are unpredictable. A VA loan can make the financing side straightforward, and your BAH in this zip code is well-suited to a four-bedroom home of this size. The acre lot gives kids and pets genuine room to roam.
For families upgrading
If your current home feels like it's shrinking, 2,262 square feet across four bedrooms gives everyone their own space again. The full acre means a real backyard — room for a playset, a garden, a firepit, or all three. NEW PORT is an established neighborhood, so you're not trading community feel for square footage. This is the kind of property where you stop outgrowing your house.
