About this property

Lovingly maintained c.1800 Colonial set on a desirable & sunny corner lot in Portsmouth’s Little Harbor neighborhood. Rich in period detail, this home features original wide pine floors, historic window shutters, crown moldings, high ceilings, hand-hewn beams, the shop-keepers doorbell and charming built-ins, nooks, and curved walls.

A newly added first-floor half bath and laundry w/soap stone sink adds modern convenience. The cozy dining room features a vaulted ceiling w/beams and a working Rumford fireplace, while the tiled sunroom offers natural light and overlooks a private pocket garden and patio—an ideal retreat in the heart of town. This home also offers ample closet space, easy access attic, a dry basement and a one-car garage. Recent updates include a new roof, gutters, and a concrete basement floor with vapor barrier. Close to downtown Portsmouth, the West End, and Peirce Island with public pool, boat launch, trails, and dog park.
