***EMAIL workingstiff@comcast.net to connect directly with property owner*** This spacious New Englander has been owned, renovated, and lived in by a fine homebuilder/artist couple for the last 16 years, who are now ready to 'right-size' to their loft downtown. This traditional home has been updated with fine craftsmanship and high quality materials. On a south facing corner lot with two driveways, this property offers both the main house plus a city-approved garden cottage which currently serves as a fine art studio on one side, and a garage with finished space above on the other. Built in 2006-7, the studio features large French doors, its own patio, bright windows, and a charming gas stove. The attached one-car garage includes a finished second story. The main house features three finished floors for living, including a flex space on the first floor that can be used as granny flat or family space, and a master suite on the top floor with bedroom, parlor, and spa-level bath. Just a 5-minute walk to Market Square, this location boasts high Walk and Bike scores. Not only can you walk to all downtown restaurants and bars, museums, theaters, harborside, public piers, historic properties, and the dog park, but your children can walk one block to get to public fields, courts, and the playground, and safely walk to Little Harbor Elementary, Portsmouth Middle School, and the Berwick Academy p/u at South Mill Pond. Local families know that the few blocks between South, Richards, Junkins, and the parks are the best in town. “Free-range children,” neighborly porch-chitchat, block parties, impromptu family firepits on the dead-end streets, are all hallmarks of the area, as are the annual July 4th and New Year’s Fireworks that prompt BBQs and festivities in every backyard. The single-family home at 81 Lincoln Ave features a full walk-up finished 3rd floor, 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, mudroom, and laundry room with mature gardens and fenced in yard. First floor flex space can be used as a mother-in-law apt. with 3/4 bath, or for family living. The second floor, with 4 bedrooms and a full bath, is currently undergoing a refresh with period replastering and fresh paint. Exterior painting and new roof on the main house and the garden cottage was completed summer 2021. Owner expects to fully list the property summer 2022, and will cover typical Buyer Agents fees. ***EMAIL workingstiff@comcast.net to connect directly with property owner***
