A rare lifestyle. It is unusual to find a property where you can enjoy a rural setting with open land and a classic barn, yet be less than a 10-minute drive to the Atlantic Ocean. Few communities offer both pastoral charm and easy access to beaches, restaurants, and Portsmouth. Set on 1.56 private acres just minutes from the Seacoast’s beaches, this beautifully restored New England home offers a rare combination of historic character and everyday livability. Thoughtfully updated throughout, this 3-bedroom, 2 bath, 2400+ sq ft property retains its timeless charm while living with the comfort and ease today’s buyers expect. Inside, warm, sun-filled spaces highlight exposed beams and a natural, easy flow from room to room. The renovated kitchen and updated baths blend seamlessly with the home’s original details, creating a balance of authenticity and modern function. Multiple living areas provide flexibility for both relaxed daily living and entertaining. Extensive improvements—including updated systems, a new septic, and significant exterior upgrades—offer peace of mind rarely found in homes of this era. The property’s post-and-beam barn with wide plank floors adds exceptional versatility, ideal for entertaining, a studio, or private retreat space, while the surrounding grounds offer a mix of open lawn, with room for garage or ADU, mature landscaping, and privacy that is increasingly hard to find. Whether as a year-round residence or coastal getaway WITH ROOM TO ADD ON this is a home that delivers character, comfort, and lifestyle in one of the Seacoast’s most desirable locations, minutes to Portsmouth to Portsmouth and easy access to Boston
