About this home
Welcome to 4509 South Street — a thoughtfully updated brick ranch in Portsmouth’s established Westhaven neighborhood that blends timeless appeal, modern efficiency, and everyday convenience.
From the moment you arrive, the home’s inviting curb appeal sets the tone. Mature landscaping frames the classic brick exterior, while a spacious driveway and upgraded detached garage with electricity offer ample parking and workspace options. The covered side porch provides a comfortable, weather-protected second entry and hints at the relaxed lifestyle you’ll enjoy here.
Step inside to 1,107 square feet of well-planned living space, where abundant natural light pours through energy-efficient replacement windows, highlighting fresh finishes and thoughtful updates. The bright living room is an ideal gathering spot, while the stylishly updated kitchen features sleek appliances—including refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher—that convey with the home. The kitchen layout maximizes efficiency and connects seamlessly to the dining space, making everyday meals and entertaining equally enjoyable.
The home’s three bedrooms offer versatility for sleeping, home office, or hobby space, and both the full and half bathrooms have been tastefully refreshed with modern fixtures and finishes. Ceiling fans in multiple rooms enhance comfort, while generous closets provide practical storage. A hookup for a whole-house generator ensures year-round peace of mind.
This property shines when it comes to efficiency. Recently installed solar panels—at just $151 per month and transferable to the new owner—help keep electric bills to an average of around $50 per month on the budget plan, a smart and eco-friendly investment. Additional major updates include a roof with newer architectural shingles, new HVAC system, upgraded electrical panel, and a tankless hot water heater for endless hot water.
Outdoor living is a highlight here. Out back, a 24-foot round, 4-foot deep above-ground pool with surrounding deck creates a private retreat perfect for summer fun or quiet relaxation. The pool area conveys with lounge chairs, a table, a storage tote, and cleaning tools, so you can start enjoying it from day one. A 10’ x 20’ covered porch expands your entertainment space, while the fully fenced backyard offers security for pets, privacy for gatherings, and plenty of room for gardening or play.
The Westhaven neighborhood is known for its quiet streets, friendly neighbors, and proximity to amenities. Portsmouth City Park, just minutes away, offers open green space, a golf course, playgrounds, and beautiful waterfront views along the Elizabeth River. You’re also close to Olde Towne Portsmouth, where historic charm meets a vibrant dining and entertainment scene. Favorites include Roger Brown’s Restaurant & Sports Bar for hearty meals and big-screen game days, Fish & Slips Marina Raw Bar & Grill for fresh seafood with a water view, and the iconic Commodore Theatre, a restored 1945 Art Deco movie palace offering dinner-and-a-movie experiences.
Commuters will appreciate easy access to the Midtown Tunnel, providing quick connections to Norfolk, Chesapeake, and beyond. Nearby shopping, schools, and services keep daily errands simple, and the home’s location makes it equally convenient for those who work locally or regionally.
With its extensive upgrades, energy efficiency, flexible living spaces, and inviting outdoor amenities, 4509 South Street offers more than just a house—it’s a complete lifestyle package. Whether you’re cooling off in the pool, hosting friends on the covered porch, or exploring the vibrant Portsmouth community, this property delivers on comfort, convenience, and connection.
