About this home

Classic 1941 Cape Cod in Waterview, one of Portsmouth's most charming established neighborhoods, thoughtfully refreshed while retaining the character that makes an older home special. A welcoming entrance leads into a flexible floor plan with 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths and generous living space throughout. Fresh neutral paint throughout, replacement windows and new carpet in the family room, stairs and second floor give the home a fresh, move-in-ready feel. The updated kitchen pairs new butcher block countertops and freshly painted white cabinetry with a brand-new refrigerator, and opens to a practical laundry/pantry area with new washer and dryer. Two first-floor bedrooms include the primary, while separate living and dining rooms and a spacious family room—currently staged as a home office—offer plenty of options for everyday living. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, full bath, flex space and abundant attic/storage space. A brand-new heat pump provides central heat and air, with a 2018 oil furnace for backup heat. Outside you'll find a fenced backyard with a producing peach tree, detached one-car garage and separate storage shed. Convenient to Maryview Medical Center, shopping, dining and major routes. A great blend of classic Waterview charm, useful updates and space that can adapt to the way you live.
