Classic construction meets thoughtful updates at 3521 Doerr Road in Portsmouth's Greenfield Farms neighborhood. Built by Earl Drum and owned by just two owners, this 3-bedroom, 1-full-bath, 1-half-bath home offers approximately 1,558 square feet on a 0.27-acre lot. Hardwood floors add warmth, while a fireplace provides a welcoming focal point. Updated bathrooms bring a fresh touch to the home's timeless character. Recent improvements include a new sewer line to the street in 2025, a water heater in 2024, and HVAC in 2018; the roof is approximately 14 years old and has 30-year shingles. Outside, the fenced backyard offers room for gardening, outdoor meals, or relaxing. With no HOA and convenient access to interstate routes, shopping, and military installations, this classic ranch pairs enduring appeal with practical updates.
The General Residential GR district is established to accommodate primarily single-family detached, attached residential, and two-to four-family dwellings, subject to design standards to ensure their compatibility with the single-family character of the district, at moderate densities. District regulations are intended to discourage any use that substantially interferes with the development of single-family, two-family, or three-to-four family dwellings, or that is detrimental to the quiet residential nature of the district.
