Step into a storybook setting as you turn down a quiet shaded street in the heart of the budding West End and approach this gabled, cape-style home completely renovated by its current occupants. The front door, flanked with window boxes, opens to a chic, modern kitchen with quartz countertops, herringbone backsplash and all new cabinetry, flooring and appliances while retaining its vintage, planked knotty pine ceiling. First floor spaces include an intimate dining room and a bright, sun-filled living room featuring cathedral ceilings, exposed beams and access to a coveted, level, fenced backyard - perfect for organic gardening, swimming pool, hot tub or entertaining. Returning inside, the second level includes 3 bedrooms and a windowed nook, which, along with a finished attic, provides work-from-home office space or additional storage. Rise and shine to a floor plan that also boasts two upscale, fully renovated surprisingly large bathrooms with handsome, custom finish. A detached carriage house supports 4 cars in tandem, workshop, ample storage or explore the potential to renovate to guest quarters if desired. Truly a walk-friendly location just around the corner from Pine Park where summertime fun awaits and a brief jaunt to bustling downtown Portsmouth to grab a quick cup of coffee, restaurant options and easy highway access. This home offers the additional benefit of immediate occupancy.
