Property Description

For the first time since 1958, when Dwight D. Eisenhower was president and a gallon of gas averaged just 30 cents, 161 Elwyn Avenue is being offered to the market. Set in one of Portsmouth’s quintessential neighborhoods, this 4 bedroom, 2 bath home offers a setting that is increasingly hard to find. Little Harbour School, Portsmouth Middle School, and Portsmouth High School are all within walking distance, while the end of the street leads to basketball and pickleball courts, a newly updated playground, a dog park, and the Portsmouth Public Library. Inside, the home offers a remarkably flexible layout, with five rooms featuring closets and the versatility to accommodate bedrooms, home offices, or other needs. The very functional first floor features a spacious living room, kitchen, dining area, two additional rooms, and a full bath. The second floor includes 3 bedrooms, a full bath, and a spacious landing that could serve as a playroom or office. The home has a 1 car under garage with the basement offering storage and workshop area. Marvin windows and hardwood flooring throughout most of the home, adding warmth and character to the home. After nearly seven decades in the same ownership, this much-loved home is ready for its next chapter and a new owner who will appreciate the character, convenience, and genuine neighborhood feel that make Elwyn Avenue so special.
