Recognized by the City’s Historic District Commission and the Portsmouth Athenaeum, this New England styled home was constructed in 1869 by the family of March Farm.

The hardscaped fully fenced rear yard provides a lively pocket garden and offers an incredible oasis with a blend of mature trees and perennial plantings surrounding a brick paved patio. An extendable outdoor teak dining set illuminated by overhead string lights create the perfect conditions for an outside dinner with friends and family. Further back you'll find a firepit area with Adirondack and rocking chairs. The patio area also includes a finished outbuilding suited for games or a relaxing retreat from the main house.
The first level has hardwood floors, tall ceilings, formal front living room with bay window, large dining room with bar, cozy eat in kitchen, full bathroom, and rear sunroom. The second level includes the recently renovated and spacious master bathroom with tiled walk in shower and heated floors, the master king sized bedroom, and a cozy queen bedroom featuring an extra large stand up desk with plug in monitor nestled fully within the space of the rectangular bay window. The third level offers two more bedrooms including a queen bed in one and two twin beds in the other.
