This gracious 4/5 Bedroom, 2.5 Bath Colonial is being offered for the 1st time in 47 years. The home has been well maintained by the current owners. Classic formal entry with arched doorway leading to formal Livingroom, built in china hutch, grand wood burning fireplace with a lovely vintage mantlepiece are just a few of the remaining characteristics from the 30's. In addition, the lower level family room has a wood burning fireplace. Updated marble bath, sunroom off primary bedroom and 2nd sunroom on the 1st level complete this fabulous home. Out back you'll find a spacious deck and pocket garden backyard with a detached, 1+ car garage. Most windows have been replaced and heating system is only 5 years old. Steps to Portsmouth High School, and centrally located, essentially in the middle of Portsmouth – easy access to downtown, Prescott Park, the South End, the West, End and the beaches. Minutes to major commuting routes. Showings begin Tuesday 11/14/23.
