Property Description

A LITTLE HARBOR CAPE WITH SO MUCH TO LOVE! Blue awnings pop against classic gray shingles as a flagstone path crosses the manicured lawn, creating a delightful first impression in one of Portsmouth’s coveted neighborhoods. Inside, abundant windows fill the bright white living room with natural light while across the way the family room, wrapped in a serene seaside hue, invites movie nights and relaxed evenings. Escort guests to the spacious dining room where celebratory dinners and holiday feasts become treasured traditions. Mornings begin in the sunny breakfast nook where hardwood floors and a bay window frame pretty street views. Sip coffee over Wordle or claim a corner for a favorite chair and spend leisurely Sundays lost in a novel. Nearby, the kitchen offers generous counter space for rolling dough, chopping farmers market finds and assembling appetizers while its open connection to the dining room keeps the cook part of the conversation. A versatile mudroom is ready to corral boots, coats and market bags or imagine it transformed into a cheerful sunroom. An additional first-floor room easily accommodates a home office or overnight guests. Out back, make the most of summer on the stone patio as dinner sizzles on the grill, gardens flourish and the fully fenced yard provides space for play. Downstairs, the unfinished basement houses laundry and has plenty of potential for a workshop, storage or future expansion. Beyond home, the city beckons. Browse independent shops, meet for weekend brunch, catch a show or live music downtown, explore nearby parks and trails or head to the beach for an afternoon by the sea. At day’s end, retire upstairs to a well-proportioned primary where an ensuite bath and walk-in closet create comfortable private quarters. A second bedroom offers twin skylights that welcome sunshine by day and invite stargazing from bed after dark.
