About This Home

As of January 2020

It doesn't get more downtown than this penthouse condo! The Sheafe House built in 1827 went through an extensive renovation in 2005 which blended historic architectural features with modern era amenities such as an ELEVATOR and sprinkler system. The elevator opens directly into the 4th floor condo giving the home a high-end feel. Stunning brick walls and exposed beams are just a few of the visual components that draw your eye. The main living area is open concept living room, kitchen, and dining area. At it's peak the kitchen ceiling height is 14+ feet and features a custom iron pot rack designed and forged by a local blacksmith. Large master bedroom with en-suite bathroom features separate tiled shower and bath and is large enough for a king size bed and work area. The guest wing is separate from the rest of the home giving it a private feel consisting of a 3/4 bath and bedroom. Sitting high on the Portsmouth skyline take in views of the Memorial Bridge, and North Church Steeple. 3 brand new ductless AC units to keep cool, gas stove in living room and plenty of in unit storage round out this fantastic home. Outside there are beautiful granite steps, a perfect spot to catch up with your neighbors or enjoy your favorite beverage and people watch. This condo comes with 2 DEEDED PARKING SPOTS which is rare for this part of town. Association is professionally managed & pet friendly. Truly turnkey, this home can be sold furnished. Welcome home to Downtown Portsmouth!
