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.)
