Stately Downtown Portsmouth Victorian with Exceptional Land & Privacy! Rarely does a property combine historic grandeur, modern updates, nearly ½ acre, and a location this close to downtown. Beautifully updated and set on a remarkable .49-acre lot with approximately 15 acres of conservation land behind, this three-story Victorian offers an extraordinary in-town setting just a short walk from downtown Portsmouth. A newly rebuilt Azek front porch welcomes you into an impressive foyer highlighted by a dramatic central turning staircase rising through all three floors. The first floor offers an elegant blend of character and functionality, including a distinctive rounded turret room, inviting family room with a beautifully tiled fireplace, spacious dining room, and a spectacular 22-foot kitchen. Completely reimagined with custom cabinetry, Labradorite granite countertops, center island, and rich hardwood flooring, the kitchen opens through large sliders to a vast wraparound deck perfect for entertaining or enjoying the private surroundings. A full bath completes the first floor. The second-floor features three generously sized bedrooms and two beautifully updated baths. The third floor has a bedroom plus a bonus studio/bedroom with a spacious walk-in attic offering excellent flexibility for guests, office space, hobbies, or storage. Recent improvements include Hardie Board siding with transferable warranty, updated heating and central air conditioning, and the rebuilt Azek front porch. Enjoy all that downtown Portsmouth has to offer, restaurants, shops, waterfront, culture, and entertainment while coming home to an expansive, private setting rarely found this close to the heart of the city.
