Welcome home! The perfect balance of Victorian craftsmanship and modern amenities describe this gorgeous home in the coveted Little Harbor neighborhood. This grand house has high ceilings, sunlit rooms, custom built-ins, including a leaded glass hutch in the formal dining room, and 6 fireplaces, each with ornate mantels. The eat-in kitchen, with cozy corner window seats, is the heart of the home with Wolf/Sub Zero appliances, soapstone and cherry countertops, lots of storage and pantry space. This light, bright kitchen design merited a stop on the Music Hall's Kitchen Tour in 2013. The contemporary, adjoining sunroom offers views of the beautiful stone church next door and its carpet of pumpkins in the Fall. The master suite has a vast walk-in closet/laundry room and a well-appointed bath. Use the other large bedrooms, each with plenty of closet space, for a growing family, entertaining visitors to our lovely harborside City or a home office. A new heating system and central air keep this home cozy year-round. The grounds showcase brilliant perennial gardens and flowering trees. This location is easily walkable to downtown, nearby parks and schools. Enjoy the annual July 4th and New Year's Eve fireworks by just stepping outside. On a historic note, former Portsmouth Mayor, owner of the Portsmouth Herald and the Music Hall, F.W. Hartford, raised his family here. Come make your new home in this special corner of the City that embraces history and turn-of-the-century charm!
