About This Home
42 Main Street is an updated antique colonial located in the heart of New Castle village. It's within walking distance of the Great Island Cafe and a short stroll to the beach. The property offers views of the Piscataqua River from the patio and inside you'll find stunning wood floors, exposed brick and fireplaces that add to its character and charm. The second floor features two generous bedrooms. There are two additional rooms on the third floor, accessible by a narrow staircase, which could serve as extra bedrooms or home office spaces. A detached 2-car garage provides convenience, especially during the winter months and offers easy storage for beach equipment in the summer. New Castle is easily accessible to downtown Portsmouth and an hour's drive to Boston, MA or Portland, ME.
