Description
Some homes offer history. This one invites you to become part of it. Built in 1860, the same year Abraham Lincoln was elected President, this beautifully maintained Federal-style home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates in the heart of Olde Towne Portsmouth. Original pine floors, refreshed bathrooms, and an updated kitchen with solid surface countertops and quality cabinetry preserve the home's character while providing the comforts of modern living. Recent improvements include a new HVAC system (2023) and updated sewer and water lines for added peace of mind. A rare double lot creates a private, fenced backyard with an oversized shed featuring electric and water. Located on one of Olde Towne's most historic streets with convenient off-street parking and just blocks from local restaurants, shops, and entertainment, this is an opportunity to become the next steward of a remarkable piece of Portsmouth's history.
