The attached garage enters through the basement; the existing layout offers the possibility to section off portions of the lower level to create even more usable space. And then there’s the West End. One of Portsmouth’s most desirable neighborhoods, it puts you close to the restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, shops, and creative businesses that have made the area such a popular part of the city. Spend the morning grabbing coffee, meet friends for dinner or a drink, or head out for a walk and enjoy the neighborhood’s mix of established streets and newer development. It’s a location that gives you the best of Portsmouth without feeling like you’re right in the middle of downtown.
