203 Porter Ave

This brick home sits on a corner lot of about 0.19 acres in the Merrimac Shores neighborhood of Hampton, one block from the Hampton River. Built in 1951, it offered five bedrooms, two baths and approximately 2,863 square feet, with hardwood flooring throughout.

The layout included a kitchen, a living room with a fireplace, a dining room, a den, an office, a laundry room and an attic, and all appliances conveyed with the home. Heat came from a hot-water boiler, and the house was served by public water, sewer and gas. A detached two-bay garage and shop of about 600 square feet, a concrete driveway and a fenced rear yard completed the property.

The location is about 2.3 miles from Hampton University, 3 miles from the Hampton VA Medical Center, 5 miles from Buckroe Beach and minutes from I-64. The home sold at auction in June 2022 as part of an estate sale.
