Description

Tucked within a charming Victorian conversion, this unique garden-style unit offers single-level living, the privacy and character of a small single-family home, and the convenience of condominium ownership...all within walking distance of Market Square, Prescott Park, restaurants, shops, and the waterfront. Inside, beautifully preserved oak millwork, gleaming wood floors, distinctive period windows, and a masonry fireplace with a gas insert create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The spacious bedroom features charming pocket doors and a window seat overlooking the backyard. A bright sunroom provides a seamless connection to the outdoors, opening to a private brick patio and a beautifully maintained, fenced yard. Whether enjoying morning coffee, entertaining friends, or tending the gardens, these outdoor spaces offer an uncommon lifestyle for downtown Portsmouth living. The covered front porch provides another inviting spot to relax and watch neighborhood activity unfold. Recent improvements include a new Bosch heating system and HTP water heater; the renovated full bath features Italian tile flooring and a walk-in shower with tile surround. In-unit laundry adds everyday convenience, with additional laundry hookups available in the basement. Hard-to-find amenities include two dedicated parking spaces...one in a garage and one directly in front of it—a private storage area in the basement, and pet-friendly association living. Combining historic character, thoughtful updates, private outdoor space, garage parking, and an exceptional walkable location, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the very best of Portsmouth living. Offered for the first time in over 25 years!
