This sun-filled home blends historic character with modern comfort and incredible outdoor space. With 8.5’ ceilings and sunshine all day, it features a fully fenced backyard with exterior custom stonework, including a stunning patio for entertaining, a recently renovated deck perfect for relaxing outdoors, and a retaining wall with built-in firepit. Mature perennial gardens bloom from April to September, offering color throughout the seasons. A cottage-style outbuilding with a wood stove offers a versatile space—perfect for a home office, studio, or gym. Inside offers original wood floors, banister, built-ins, and a bright, updated kitchen with quartz counters, stainless appliances, and bay window. Updated baths and first-floor laundry combine style and efficiency. Enjoy new sidewalks out front that connect directly to the Rail Trail and skatepark, with continuous sidewalks leading to the West End. Just a 5-minute walk to the community dog park, playground, and ball field—plus downtown Portsmouth is just minutes from your door. An excellent commuter location, with easy access to major routes. (The cottage-style outbuilding currently used as a Peloton studio is heated by wood stove and is not included in the 1556 square footage in the listing.)
