About this home

Coming Soon!! Charming bungalow on a hill! This vintage gem, with its notable earth sheltered garage, sits on an oversized in town lot situated in arguably the most sought after neighborhood in Portsmouth. Less than a mile from Downtown is where you will find this neighborhood with its tree lined sidewalks and lovely well maintained homes. Full of nostalgia, this home presents with a wonderful large fireplaced living room along with a formal dining room perfect for hosting holiday dinners. The vintage kitchen functions well but would benefit from some updates. There are two bedrooms and a full bath on the first floor along with a den that could function as a 3rd first floor bedroom. Additionally there is a finished room on the 2nd floor that could also serve as a bedroom. Finished space in the basement could be utilized for guests or recreation. Non functioning in-ground pool in the rear yard that could possibly be restored or filled in if you so choose. Formal photos coming Thursday, 10/17. First showings begin at open house, Saturday 10/19 from 12-2 pm.
