About this home
What a gem of a home. This beautiful Cape, built in 1781, has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully updated while still retaining original colonial features throughout. The kitchen and dining room are bright and open thanks to high-beamed ceilings and skylights while the wide pine floors add charm and character. The living room is a welcoming place where you just want to settle in by the fire. The massive colonial brick fireplace with its hewn mantel and surrounding woodwork is simply lovely. The two bathrooms, one with laundry, have been tastefully updated to modern standards while still fitting with the elegance of the original home. There is also a walk-up unfinished attic with space for extra storage. You get all of this in a two-bedroom home on two landscaped acres, plus a two-car garage. It is just the perfect package for the discerning home buyer who wants live in their own little bit of history in Portsmouth. Come see it today!
