Gracious American 4 square ideally tucked away on a dead end street on the outskirts of downtown. There is so much to love about this home- Large .51 acre lot with level yard ideal for gatherings amidst the lush gardens, a picture perfect front farmers porch and large 2 level deck overlooking the backyard. This beautifully renovated and maintained home is bursting with character and charm- wood paneling, built in bookcases and China cabinets, soaring ceilings, beautiful and efficient original radiators, window seat, hand carved brick fireplace...There is so much beauty within this home. The first floor boasts an updated eat in kitchen, formal dining area, living room, den & full bath. On the 2nd floor there are 3 bedrooms and a large full bathroom with double sinks and "sleeping porch" used as rec. room . The 4th bedroom with Trompe L'oeil castle painting is on the 3rd floor. There is an additional 500 sq ft +/- heated/cooled "studio" with full bathroom above the garage. Ideal space to use as you need it. Maybe, with the towns permission an ADU? The City is in the process of redoing the street, it will be beautiful! It is a short walk from your backyard to Borthwick Forest (35+ acres)with walking trails, a beautiful pond, pump track and the planned Seacoast Greenway. The Newly opened community garden is just down the street along with the soon to come Portsmouth Skate Park. Showings begin Friday 6/3 by appointment.
