Here is a unique opportunity to have your own brownstone just steps from downtown Portsmouth, and from the happening West End. Soaring 9 ft ceilings and 5 ft windows on the 1st floor make for a very spacious feel, highlighting the nearly 3000 sq ft of living space. Thick brick walls provide a natural barrier from the everyday sounds of the city, but on the 3rd floor one can still hear the bells of the Old North Church. Built on a slight rise, the house has some lovely views of the Harbor and River, downtown skyline, the North Church, and the Memorial Bridge. Outside there is a concrete reinforced brick driveway and multiple brick patios in the private, fenced backyard, along with an asphalt driveway that fits 4+ cars. This house is the best of the old and the new with Victorian architecture and details, and modern heating and electrical systems. This home is literally built on the bedrock of Portsmouth, and the cave-like basement provides for a wonderful natural wine cellar, which is sectioned off as a sanctuary in the front 3rd of the basement. A huge laundry list of upgrades were recently done to the property: topping the list is a new 3 zone heating and cooling system, upgraded Honeywell security system, 15 new premium aluminum clad wood windows just to name a few changes. There is a world of potential in this three-story Victorian brick home and it is just waiting for you to make it your own. It is truly a one of a kind and a pleasure to show!…  More Less What I love about the homeAPPROPRIATELY PRICED: at one of the lowest 'per square foot' prices in the downtown area, this home is appropriately priced for the new owners to choose their own enhancements. The house is truly a beautiful, blank canvas, with charming details, location, and layout. The foundation has already been laid with NEW HVAC & Duct Work, Windows, and more, and the home is now waiting to be further detailed by someone with a vision to claim the instant equity further upgrades will produce.

LOCATION: Downtown Portsmouth, but never trapped by Downtown events: a real Sweet Spot. NOT in the Historical District! A real PLUS when planning renovations! SPACE: With 3 floors and almost 3000 square feet of living space, there is ample room to perform work or hobbies, entertain guests, Air B&B a room or 2, or just spread out and enjoy the extra rooms. OFFICE: A great location to have your professional office on the 1st floor and live on the 2nd and 3rd floors, with ample (and SCARCE in a downtown location) on-site parking and nearby on-street parking. ENTERTAIN: Charming space indoors, in the Wine Cellar, and on the private patio in the walled back yard: a true gem and unique downtown property in this seacoast city. ENJOY: All the Events, Restaurants, Music, Theater, and Culture that having Portsmouth just beyond your doorstep affords. And the beaches, boating, and other outdoor activities living on the New Hampshire Seacoast affords.
