About This Home
As of April 2013This is it! Stately Greek Revival 3 bedroom 3 bath home and charming carriage house located 2 minutes from downtown in the Little Harbor School district. Known as the Haines-Fonda house, the main home is a blend of antique charm and contemporary finishes. There is a welcoming front porch which leads you to a sunny first level with tall ceilings, hardwood floors and oversized windows. The original kitchen was retrofitted into an office with the cabinets now used for filing. There is a large living room with a wood burning fireplace, a spacious dining room and a renovated kitchen w/butler's pantry. An elegant staircase at the front of home leads to 3 bedrooms and 2 baths with plenty of space for all. There is a deck and fenced garden with fountain and perennials that are sure to delight. The lovely 1 bed 2 bath carriage house is a solid income source. 5+ parking spaces and expansion possible in the attic. Portsmouth at it's best!
