Rare opportunity to purchase this classic, circa 1893 New Englander-styled home rich with character and period details seldom found in today's architecture all while sited on an in-town well landscaped lot just 1/2 mile from all of what historic downtown Portsmouth has to offer. The minute you approach this home you see the exterior soffit details and the charming wrap-around, covered front porch and you can feel the warmth of the architecture. When entering the formal front foyer, you're greeted w/a beautiful turned staircase with intricate newell posts and balustrade, hardwood floors and original period stained glass windows, hardware and trim. The living room features a large, walk-in bay window, hardwood floors, original brass ceiling fixture and a set of double pocket doors revealing an elegant dining room with original brass ceiling fixture, a second walk-in bay window and a built-in 48" hutch for glassware and dinnerware. The dining room also features a fireplace with antique tiled surrounds and a beautiful wood mantel with incredible detailing. The side door off of the covered porch leads you into a mudroom and then into the kitchen. Second floor features 3 generously-sized bedrooms, a full hall bath and a private and separate office. Top floor features a fourth bedroom and an office/sewing room with the potential for additional finished area. You'll love the Little Harbor School District location as well as the large rear yard!
