Property Description
Meticulously maintained historic Colonial thoughtfully updated for today's modern living while preserving its original charm and architectural detail. Bright and spacious rooms with high ceilings create an inviting and airy atmosphere throughout. The highly efficient galley kitchen is designed for both functionality and ease, seamlessly serving the home's generous living spaces. Upstairs, two large bedrooms with ample closet space are connected by a Jack-and-Jill style ¾ bath featuring a beautifully tiled oversized shower and conveniently located washer and dryer. A second, larger washer and dryer are located in the basement, which offers exceptional usability with high ceilings, natural light, and abundant storage potential. The main level features two main living areas currently utilized as a formal dining room and a comfortable living room, each offering scenic views of the Piscataqua River and the ever-changing waterfront activity beyond. Outdoors, the spacious fenced and landscaped yard provides the perfect setting for relaxing, gardening, or entertaining guests. A detached garden shed offers excellent storage for tools and outdoor equipment. Additional highlights include driveway parking for two vehicles plus nearby public parking that is rarely used and typically available for guests. Recent improvements include a new roof (2025) and a recently serviced chimney in excellent working order. Ideally located within walking distance to downtown Portsmouth and the charming island community of New Castle, this special property is the perfect coastal retreat or summer getaway.
