Property Description
Lovingly maintained c.1800 Colonial set on a desirable & sunny corner lot in Portsmouth's Little Harbor neighborhood. Rich in period detail, this home features original wide pine floors, historic window shutters, crown moldings, high ceilings, hand-hewn beams, the shop-keepers doorbell and charming built-ins, nooks, and curved walls. The refreshed kitchen offers new lower cabinets, high end appliances, and an improved layout—ready for the next owner to complete finishing touches. A newly added first-floor half bath and laundry w/soap stone sink adds modern convenience. The cozy dining room features a vaulted ceiling w/beams and a working Rumford fireplace, while the tiled sunroom offers natural light and overlooks a private pocket garden and patio—an ideal retreat in the heart of town. This home also offers ample closet space, easy access attic, a dry basement and a one-car garage. Recent updates include a new roof, gutters, and a concrete basement floor with vapor barrier. Close to downtown Portsmouth, the West End, and Peirce Island with public pool, boat launch, trails, and dog park. Also, near Prescott Park, Strawbery Banke, public tennis and pickleball courts, the Farmer's Market, and City Hall. One hour to Boston, Portland & ski country.
