Great Investment Opportunity in Portsmouth located in a well-established neighborhood, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath raised ranch offers solid potential for investors or buyers seeking a renovation project. The home sits on a generous .29-acre lot with a large yard and two-car garage, just minutes from the Newport Naval Base, shopping, and highway access for easy commuting. While the property needs work, including a new septic and heating system, the surrounding comparable sales support excellent upside value once improvements are made. This home presents a rare opportunity to build equity in one of Portsmouth’s most convenient locations.
