About This Home

As of November 2023

How would you like to step out your front door on the first floor and be surrounded by rich history, arts, restaurants, shops, and the best New Hampshire has to offer? This is your chance to enjoy your morning coffee on the stoop of the storied Sheafe House building and take your afternoon walks through Strawberry Banke and Prescott Park. This two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo has endless charm in the details. Don’t miss the period-original hearth in the primary bedroom with your own private bathroom. The secure and historic building is pet-friendly and professionally managed with a detailed plan for keeping the building beautiful. The well-maintained brick makes for curb-appeal that WOWS. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in highly coveted downtown Portsmouth. The living area with hardwood floors, high ceilings and ornate hearth flow into the open concept kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Everything you need is there and is ready for the new owner’s personal touches. The charm is in the details. What doesn’t look good when paired with exposed brick, expansive ceilings, and six-foot windows? Back on the market due to parties not reaching mutual terms. **Open House Canceled**
