About This Home

As of July 2025

Charming c.1780 Twin Chimney Colonial in the Heart of the South End. Located in one of Portsmouth’s most treasured neighborhoods, just moments from Prescott Park, Strawbery Banke, and downtown Portsmouth. Surrounded by a quaint tapestry of antique homes and cherished local favorite shops—including South St. & Vine Wine & Cheese, Sanders Fish Market, Geno’s Chowder and Sandwich, and Wild Valentine - Coffee & Flowers—this South End gem offers the best of small-town charm and cultural richness. Sun-drenched with beautiful views of South Mill Pond, the home blends historic character with thoughtful updates made over the past 20+/- years. The open-concept kitchen and dining area flow seamlessly to a private deck and enchanting pocket garden, creating an ideal indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Four fireplaces—including one gas and one with a wood stove insert—add warmth and ambiance throughout. Wide pine floors, a Captain’s winding staircase, built-in bookshelves and walk-up attic for storage offer character and function in every corner. The fully fenced, enchanting backyard includes a deck with water feature, garden shed, and mature landscaping and awning for shaded relaxation. Situated on a dead end street with off street parking, this is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle! Delayed Showings Begin 5/10/2025
