Experience the best of historic Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in this spacious and inviting 4-bedroom, 2-bath home. Nestled in the quiet and picturesque West End neighborhood, this delightful abode is just a leisurely stroll away from the heart of downtown Portsmouth, offering you the perfect blend of convenience and comfort.

Recognized by the City’s Historic District Commission and the Portsmouth Athenaeum, this New England styled home was constructed in 1869 by the family of MarchFarm. Welcoming granite front steps flanked by decorative wrought iron railings designed and created by renowned local Blacksmith, Peter Happny, settle beautifully next to the professionally maintained garden featured on the 2022 Portsmouth Garden Tour. The decorative staircase painted by local artist, Kenley Darling, will greet you as you entire the front door.

The hardscaped fully fenced rear yard provides a lively pocket garden and offers an incredible oasis with a blend of mature trees and perennial plantings surrounding a brick paved patio. An extendable outdoor teak dining set illuminated by overhead string lights create the perfect conditions for an outside dinner with friends and family. Further back you'll find a firepit area with Adirondack and rocking chairs. The patio area also includes a finished outbuilding suited for games or a relaxing retreat from the main house.

The first level has hardwood floors, tall ceilings, formal front living room with bay window, large dining room with bar, cozy eat in kitchen, full bathroom, and rear sunroom. The second level includes the recently renovated and spacious master bathroom with tiled walk in shower and heated floors, the master king sized bedroom, and a cozy queen bedroom featuring an extra large stand up desk with plug in monitor nestled fully within the space of the rectangular bay window. The third level offers two more bedrooms including a queen bed in one and two twin beds in the other.

Off street parking for two cars in tandem is available in the driveway to the right of the house when facing the front, and additional street parking can be found out front and around the block.

The property has Ring security cameras that monitor all exterior entries, as well as Minut noise monitoring devices that do not record but report noise volume when in excess.

    We enjoyed our stay at this property - it is a short walking distance to downtown, which is exactly what we were hoping for. The house is very charming and was well stocked with things like towels and kitchen utensils, so we were able to cook a nice meal. The backyard fire pit was also very nice to sit around. We had a great time!

    Our family of 7 had a wonderful time at Ben’s place. Clean, plenty of towels, the shed entertainment area and fire pit made wonderful evenings. Ben was receptive to any requests we had. Walking distance to everything Portsmouth has to offer. We will be back!
