    What's special

    Attached garageUpdated ranchOne-level livingFormal dining roomThree well-sized bedroomsModern kitchenAbundant cabinetry and storage
    Set in Portsmouth’s sought-after West End, this updated ranch offers the ease of one-level living with the added flexibility of unfinished space above and below. All major systems have been updated, allowing you to settle in with confidence while enjoying a thoughtfully refreshed home. The modern kitchen is both functional and inviting, with abundant cabinetry and storage, plus built-in bench seating that creates a casual eat-in area. Just off the kitchen, the formal dining room provides a natural setting for everyday meals or entertaining. The living room is anchored by an electric fireplace and features a separate accent wall with built-in shelving, adding warmth and definition to the space. Three well-sized bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or a home office, while the full bathroom includes the convenience of laundry. Outside the main living spaces, the attic and basement provide room to grow, whether you envision finished living space, a home gym, office, playroom, or simply want additional storage. The attached garage enters through the basement; the existing layout offers the possibility to section off portions of the lower level to create even more usable space. And then there’s the West End. One of Portsmouth’s most desirable neighborhoods, it puts you close to the restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, shops, and creative businesses that have made the area such a popular part of the city. Spend the morning grabbing coffee, meet friends for dinner or a drink, or head out for a walk and enjoy the neighborhood’s mix of established streets and newer development. It’s a location that gives you the best of Portsmouth without feeling like you’re right in the middle of downtown. This is a home that offers plenty of ways to make it your own in one of Portsmouth’s most dynamic neighborhoods.
