Portsmouth Is Where We Started
our first house in Portsmouth.
The first house Emmy and I ever bought, the first one we owned together at all, was a Cape Cod in Portsmouth, near Westhaven Park off Turnpike Road. It sat on about an acre that backed up to the old railroad tracks, with apple, peach, pear and fig trees, and we kept chickens out back. It was also our first time living in Virginia together.
The day we moved our furniture in, we turned on the air conditioning, and it broke. The circuit board had sparked and failed. Our home warranty company refused to cover it. They said the spark counted as a fire, and fire wasn't covered. We never did have central air in that house; we lived with window units the whole time.
It was our first fixer-upper, too, and we didn't have much money. When the old laminate kitchen counters started peeling, we covered the cabinets with OSB, and I laid real oak flooring over them to look like butcher block. I even cut the trim from the same oak. The counters weren't perfect, but they were passable, and they did the job.
While we lived there, I pastored a local church and coached high school basketball. We sold the house when we joined the Navy.
That's why we buy here. We know what these houses are like from the inside. Things break when you least expect it, a warranty doesn't always help, and sometimes you have to make do on a tight budget. If your Portsmouth house has problems you can't afford to fix, we understand.
