PORTSMOUTH, NH — Check out this listing.

• Address: 180 New Castle Ave, Portsmouth, New Hampshire
• Price: $749,000
• Square Feet: 1607
• Bedrooms: 2
• Bathrooms: 2 Baths
• Built: 1782
• Features: A beautifully renovated South End gem that wraps its arms around you as you enter! It is brimming with curb appeal and showcases water views from most rooms. Built in 1782 and lovingly restored in 2012 with architect Anne Whitney, known for sensitive historic restoration, the home retains its authentic charm (wide-plank wood floors and all). The first level of living space is extremely comfortable and includes: mudroom; bright kitchen; classic dining room; expanded living room with fireplace (gas log insert), sliding doors to side yard; and a study (or 3rd bedroom) with adjacent 3/4 bath and laundry. As you'd expect in a vintage home, the 2nd level is more compact yet well laid out. A 3rd level of partially finished space offers great potential...storage? Bunkroom? Expansion area for 2nd level ceilings? The choice is yours! Smartly updated for easy living, with newer roof, windows, mechanicals, central AC, basement waterproofing, security system and a matching shed with nautical weathervane. Ideally sited in Portsmouth's most charming neighborhood...a short, sidewalk stroll to all of the city's most treasured amenities (Market Square, Strawbery Banke, Prescott Park, boutiques, cafes, theaters, and so on) and the island town of New Castle. While away your summer days in the blooming pocket gardens of this one-of-a-kind home!
