Property Description
Welcome to the Colonel Joshua Wentworth House, now offered for sale since its complete renovation. Situated in the Strawbery Banke District, this historic home is a short walk to Prescott Park and downtown Portsmouth. Featuring some of the finest 18th century detailed woodwork in the United States, this home is documented in the Library of Congress. At 5,130 square feet, this air-conditioned three story home is perfect for entertaining, has an open concept kitchen, high ceilings and a full modern basement all rare to find in an 18th century home. The front entry opens to a center hall and stairwell flanked by a parlor and dining room. A second entrance is near the driveway with parking for two cars (expandable to four). The chef's kitchen has a 6'x5' island and is open to another dining and living area with fireplace that connects to an office/library and bathroom with VT soapstone. The second floor includes a primary suite, two additional bedrooms and parlor all with paneling, trim work, and fireplaces. The third floor features a large bedroom, bathroom with shower, and two more sitting rooms, one with fireplace. The exterior boasts private fenced gardens, patio and low-maintenance plantings, like magnolias, hydrangea, and a wisteria-covered arbor, providing a perfect spot to relax, garden, and enjoy this oasis all within downtown Portsmouth. It's a rare opportunity to acquire one of the finest homes in the area that has been meticulously restored.
