    Originally built circa 1815 Federal, Strawbery Court is one of Portsmouth's most distinctive residences, ideally positioned in the heart of Portsmouth's Historic South End. Long known as the beloved Strawbery Court Restaurant, the property was thoughtfully reimagined as an exceptional private residence. Expanded by renowned builder Peter Kasnet, the home beautifully blends nearly two centuries of history with refined modern living. Overlooking a picturesque city park beside the iconic Strawbery Banke Museum, the residence is moments from Prescott Park, the Piscataqua River waterfront, acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, galleries, theaters, and marinas. Few homes offer such an extraordinary combination of history, location, and lifestyle. Offering approximately 3,100 square feet, the residence features three bedrooms, three-and-one-half baths, two private offices, six working fireplaces (five gas and one wood-burning), radiant heated bathroom floors, a heated driveway, and a beautifully enclosed brick courtyard, creating an uncommon sense of privacy in the heart of downtown Portsmouth. A landmark residence that reflects the rich architectural heritage, enduring character, and exceptional lifestyle of Portsmouth's Historic South End. Mixed Use Zoning.
