Set in the heart of downtown Portsmouth, 124 State Street is a rare offering an exceptional brick row house that stands apart as a true “unicorn” in one of New England’s most desirable coastal communities. Unlike many properties in this premier location, it is a privately owned single-family home with no condo fees, offering both independence and long-term value. Completely renovated between 2020 and 2022, the home seamlessly blends historic charm with refined modern design. Exposed brick, tall ceilings, custom cabinetry, and thoughtfully crafted built-ins are complemented by abundant natural light throughout, creating a warm and sophisticated living environment that feels both timeless and current. The location is unmatched. Step out the front door into Portsmouth’s vibrant downtown filled with acclaimed restaurants and boutique shops, while the rear opens to the historic grounds of Strawbery Banke Museum and the waterfront beauty of Prescott Park. This unique positioning offers the perfect balance of urban energy and serene outdoor living. Equally impressive are the private outdoor spaces, including a sun-filled roof deck and a tranquil bluestone courtyard, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A legal first-floor one-bedroom apartment, currently used as a guest suite with a full kitchen and laundry, adds flexibility and value, with potential for conversion to professional or boutique business use under the property’s mixed-use zoning, subject to City approval. Perhaps most remarkable is the parking, with space for up to six vehicles, along with the opportunity to build a garage due to favorable zero lot line positioning—an extraordinary advantage in downtown Portsmouth.
