    A traditional New England Cape that blends classic architectural features with a bright, open-concept layout and floorplan makes this property a rare offering. Located in a highly desirable area of Portsmouth, this quiet neighborhood is a short drive from the amenities and attractions this acclaimed city offers. The first floor includes the living, dining and family rooms that flow seamlessly around the well-proportioned and nicely appointed kitchen. The primary bedroom with en-suite bath and an additional half-bath provide ideal livability and functionality on the main floor. Upstairs, the traditional Cape layout offers a bedroom and an additional room that can serve as sleeping quarters, an office, a den or a study—offering perfect flexibility for today’s needs. Throughout the home, thoughtful updates enhance comfort without sacrificing character. Warm hardwood floors, crisp millwork, and classic Cape proportions are complemented by modern lighting, refreshed baths, and energy-efficient improvements. From the family room, step out to the large patio and rear yard which offers ample open space, mature plantings and natural landscape perfect for outdoor dining, gardening or simply enjoying the seasons. Located in close proximity to the ocean, riverfront, numerous recreational attractions including the expansive "rail trail" as well as major commuting routes and employment centers, this offering is exceptional.
