When you take a highly desirable Portsmouth neighborhood, add some amazing curb appeal and top it off with a lovingly maintained and modernized Ranch, you've got that rare opportunity property you don't want to miss! This 3 bedroom, 3 bath Ranch offers a first floor primary suite, eat-in kitchen with stainless appliances and gas fireplace, living room with large window views to the private rear yard, and a formal dining room with seasonal views of blossoming trees, weeping evergreens, and colorful maples to mention just a few. The lower level basement has a theatre area, 3/4 bath, and separate office/gym area as well as several unfinished storage spaces. The exterior landscaping offers a blend of formal granite walkways with natural river bed path stones guiding homeowners and guests to the covered front porch. Enjoy privacy in the rear yard on a low maintenance deck set near pea gravel paths to the oversized shed/workshop. When it's time to toss the ball or play a game of lawn darts, there is plenty of space with this lot's expansive side yard. With seasonal views from the primary suite and front bedroom to the North Mill Pond, this location is just minutes from downtown Portsmouth shopping, restaurants and an endless number of cultural and entertainment venues, parks, trails, and bike paths. Easy access to commuter routes to nearby local towns or onward to Boston or Portland.
