About this home
Tucked into Portsmouth’s coveted South End, just moments from Prescott Park, Strawbery Banke, and vibrant downtown, this c.1876 center chimney brick Mansard home offers a rare blend of historic character and modern ease. Built by William J. Fraser, thoughtfully renovated by its fourth owners between 2020 and 2024, the home captures the essence of timeless craftsmanship while embracing today’s lifestyle. From the moment you enter through the original double wood paneled doors, you’re welcomed by a graceful turned staircase, curved walls, and beautifully proportioned living spaces with soaring 10’ ceilings. Rich in detail, the home showcases exquisite original plaster crown moldings, baseboards, and door casings believed to have been crafted by Fraser himself alongside a gas fireplace and custom built-ins that create an inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is designed for gathering, featuring an oversized island, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, high-end stainless appliances, and a Shaws farm sink, all complemented by exceptional storage including a pantry with slide-out shelving. A stylish first-floor half bath adds a touch of personality, while the second floor offers a newly created spa-like bath with tiled shower, soaking tub, radiant heat flooring, cherry double vanity, along with laundry hookups for convenience. Three finished levels provide flexibility, including a third floor with two bedrooms, a den, and a ¾ bath ideal for guests, work-from-home, or private retreat space. Outside, a professionally designed pocket garden with elegant hardscape offers a serene, low-maintenance outdoor escape, while a cobblestone driveway provides off-street parking for three. With high ceilings throughout, a functional basement, and extensive upgrades including central air, new roofing, restored windows, and updated systems this impeccably maintained home delivers a refined in-town lifestyle in one of Portsmouth’s most cherished neighborhoods....
