The Captain Drisco House of 1790 was a comprehensive whole house renovation in 2019-2021 that brought all major mechanical systems up to 2021 standards and preparing the property for its next 234 years of ownership. Peacefully located on a quiet South End corner lot, opposite the old South Meeting House, just a short stroll to Prescott Park and all that historic downtown Portsmouth has to offer. The home features a main home of 1,667 sf which is in meticulous, move-in condition and features a fenced in pocket garden with direct rear yard access. Character and charm prevail with many original period details intact including the refurbished and original pine flooring combined with state of the art epicurean-inspired custom kitchen which is open for the formal dining or dining/family room combination. First floor formal living room and first floor den/study feature original fireplaces. Luxurious hall guest bath and a one of-a-kind primary suite with luxurious primary bath. A separate 432sf rentable studio apartment features a separate entrance, luxury tiled bath, new kitchen and a cozy studio-like living room/bedroom area which could easily be work space as well as a space for family or friends. Extremely rare and new (2020) two car garage plus a side cobblestone parking lot capable of parking 3-4 additional cars plus the garage. Rarely does a home so meticulously maintained and updated become available. First showings Saturday December 9, 2023 by appt only.
