About this home

Incredible Opportunity to own this magnificent home in the heart of Portsmouth. Walk to Downtown and still have privacy! The quality is what you would dream of as the home was designed by architect Lisa DeStefano and built by Peter Kasnet. No expense was spared in the custom kitchen with Brookhaven cherry cabinets, granite countertops , Miele, Sub -Zero and Wolf appliances. The walk in pantry, built-ins, custom draperies and crown moldings only add to the distinction of this home. Every detail was thought of as this home includes a reverse osmosis water filtration system, alarm system, Fisher & Paykel washer and dryer, central air conditioning and a hidden television cabinet. At almost 4,000 square feet this grand home is complete with a first floor master with his and hers walk in closets. A patio off the kitchen and over 1.25 acres of landscaped and manicured grounds make this the perfect home for entertaining inside and out. Development possibilities.
