About This Home

As of July 2013

This is the quintessential condo, in Little Harbor district and within walking distance to downtown. But, it also offers so much more. This condo has been reclaimed and locally restored and it seems that everything in it has a local story. From a firewood cabinet that was built with red oak from a storm fallen, old tree from York, ME to the hearth that is constructed from "Portsmouth" bricks from the basement of the old Kane Insurance building. The hearth supports a soapstone wood stove that constructed locally in West Lebanon, NH and is sufficiently sized to heat the entire space. Original moldings have been refinished and a stained glass window added. The tile floors within the mudroom, kitchen and bathroom were selected from reclaimed tile. But, it goes beyond just restoration in this condo..energy conservation has also been considered with recycled denim insulation added and an energy efficient solar tube to increase natural light. Come take a look to find out the whole story!
