Property Description
Tucked within a charming Victorian conversion, this unique garden-style unit offers single-level living, the privacy and character of a small single-family home, and the convenience of condominium ownership—all within walking distance of Market Square, Prescott Park, restaurants, shops, and the waterfront. Inside, beautifully preserved oak millwork, gleaming wood floors, distinctive period windows, and a masonry fireplace with a gas insert create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The spacious bedroom features charming pocket doors and a window seat overlooking the backyard. A bright sunroom provides a seamless connection to the outdoors, opening to a private brick patio and a beautifully maintained, fenced yard. Whether enjoying morning coffee, entertaining friends, or tending the gardens, these outdoor spaces offer an uncommon lifestyle for downtown Portsmouth living. The covered front porch provides another inviting spot to relax and watch neighborhood activity unfold.
