NEW Portsmouth RANCH listing in sought after Elwyn Park neighborhood. Desirable one floor layout. This home is welcoming from the moment you lay eyes on the charming front porch. This home is laid out with three bedrooms and one full bathroom at one end and an open kitchen/dining area and family room at the other. The elegant brick fireplace will bring warmth and a peaceful ambiance to the family room, making gatherings more inviting. Some simple cosmetic updates will bring out the gleaming hardwood floors and will look stunning with the glow from the fireplace. The costlier maintenance items have been completed, including the roof (about 1 year ago), vinyl windows, boiler, oil tank and garage door. CHECK OUT all the space in the full basement, featuring a large 27’x 10’ bonus recreation room with bar and plenty of room for STORAGE. Enjoy your private back yard or look over the neighborhood from the charming front porch. The current owner has cared for this home for over 40 years and is now ready to pass the keys onto a new owner to continue the pride of the ownership tradition. City Water and Sewer. Right up the road to Dondero School. A quick drive to Rt. 1 and I-95 makes this location perfect for commuters. Also a quick drive to popular beaches, great shopping and lively downtown Portsmouth.
