About This Home

As of August 2021

Picture perfect in Portsmouth. Every once and awhile a home comes along that has exactly everything you need - space for everyone indoor and out, airy modern design, and brilliant functionality. This is that house. Set towards the end of a quiet neighborhood loop on 1.26 well landscaped and sunny acres this serene home offers all the peaceful experiences of country living yet just minutes to everything spirited Portsmouth has to offer. Many tranquil indoor and outdoor living spaces to explore and enjoy. Sunbathe, dine alfresco or gather friends for a BBQ while taking in the woodland scene on the expansive back deck. Set up your own potting shed or hammock under the shelter of the ground floor patio. Enjoy a book on the brick walkway under the shade trees and flowering blooms of the front lawns. Inside gather around the two story fireplace for an evening of puzzles or movie night. Pull up a chair for relaxing meals in the sunny breakfast nook, sleek granite kitchen bar, or inviting formal dining room. Upstairs is a lofty and tranquil primary bedroom suite with a luxury double granite vanity, full bath and walk in closet. Laundry is conveniently located in the upstairs landing, as are two light filled bedrooms and a full bath. Both bedrooms have their charms too - one has views of the wooded setting out huge picture windows, and the other has an awesome bonus den area. Time to have it all.
