About This Home

Secure a premier asset in one of New England’s most enchanting coastal communities. This historic single-family home blends timeless character with modern functionality, having undergone a major renovation in 2013 to update all core systems for worry-free maintenance. By purchasing directly from the owner, you bypass traditional broker fees while gaining immediate access to a property poised for your personal use or investment. While the home currently features a long-term tenant, the occupant is open to vacating, offering you the flexibility to move in shortly after closing or to secure a new rental agreement at your discretion. This unique situation allows you to acquire a turnkey property without the pressure of an immediate lease transfer. The 1,488-square-foot interior boasts a highly desirable layout with two private bedroom and bathroom suites—one located upstairs and one downstairs—plus a convenient additional half bath. Original details like historic wide-plank floors with hand-cut nails complement modern upgrades, including a spacious kitchen with granite countertops. In a downtown area where parking is a premium, this property boasts four dedicated parking spaces plus ample on-street parking on a private road. Outside, the backyard serves as a landscaped oasis featuring mature greenery and a red brick private patio anchored by a custom-built fieldstone outdoor fireplace. The location offers the ultimate Seacoast lifestyle, with a scenic ten-minute walk to downtown Portsmouth's dining and theater scene, and a public boat launch less than a minute away for kayaks and paddleboards. The neighborhood is also zoned for the acclaimed Portsmouth Middle School. Recent nearby sales highlight the immense value of this historic district. Out of respect for the current tenant's privacy, viewings are strictly by appointment for pre-approved buyers.
