Back on the Market - Nestled in the heart of New Castle village, this quintessential cape-style home, also know as the Thomas Follansby House, offers a glimpse into local town history. Thoughtful updates seamlessly blend with original features creating warm and inviting spaces that complement today's lifestyle. Enhancements include an updated kitchen featuring an Italian Bertazzoni induction range and Butcher Block counters, three bathroom renovations, installation of central AC, a newer roof, and freshly painted exterior. Two reconstructed fireplaces and wide pine flooring, combined with reproduction woodwork, create period details with modern functionality. Professionally landscaped and fenced, the backyard features perennial gardens and mature plantings, creating a picturesque oasis for relaxation or hosting family and friends. New Castle is home to Great Island Common, Wentworth-by-the-Sea Hotel and Spa and benefits from one of New Hampshire's lowest tax rates. Located near commuter routes and the vibrant downtown area of Portsmouth with its restaurants, shops and entertainment options, New Castle preserves its small island charm and remains a NH coastal gem. 79 Main Street is the perfect blend of history and modern convenience awaiting its new owners.
