About This Home

As of December 2020

Picture perfect bungalow offered in the highly desirable Little Harbor neighborhood of downtown Portsmouth. This home boasts many tasteful updates. The kitchen comes with custom window-paned cabinets, granite countertops, and a Wolf professional range with a stainless steel hood. The flow from kitchen to formal dining room allows a seamless transition from cooking to enjoying your meal. Walk through the archway into your delightfully spacious living room complete with a gas fireplace and custom mantle. A first floor bedroom, currently being used as an office, is situated perfectly in the rear corner of the first floor, and is serviced by a ¾ bath with a walk-in shower for convenience. Hardwood flooring runs throughout the entire home offering elegance and warmth. Upstairs you will find two perfectly sized bedrooms equipped with ceiling fans and ample closet space. The second floor bathroom offers a dual vanity, and tiled surround tub/shower. Heading down to the very spacious basement, you’ll find a perfect laundry set up with sink, a ¼ bathroom & space for a home gym & office nook. Recent upgrades include newer architectural shingled roof & HVAC with central air. Outside you’ll see a meticulously maintained backyard that is fully fenced in with a gorgeous patio area, making it the perfect garden oasis for relaxing or entertainment. Irrigation and a 2 car garage top things off. All that’s left to do is move in!
