Property Description
Welcome to “Stella Maris”-one of downtown Portsmouth’s most adored homes. This charming gambrel was meticulously & extensively renovated in 2016 by an acclaimed local architect who perfectly preserved the historic character and added luxury modern conveniences to create a breathtaking property. With over 3,700 finished sf, a 2-car garage & a .33-acre lot that is thoughtfully landscaped (and irrigated) to bloom all season, this home is ideally sized & situated just a stroll to Market Square & the West End. The 1st floor feat. an open-concept dining area, sitting room, kitchen and breakfast nook highlighted by a wood-burning fireplace, a gas fireplace & marble countertops. A pocket door leads to a delightful living room and a private office. The sunny 1st floor is rounded out by a mudroom, powder room, invaluable butler’s pantry-with soapstone counter, sink, dishwasher, double oven & beverage fridge-and screened porch. The open stairway to the 2nd floor boasts grand, turn-of-the century details. The 2nd floor feat. a primary bedroom suite with a gas fireplace, private deck, custom walk-in closet and generous bathroom with soaking tub. Two guest bedrooms (one with two custom-built queen beds and creative finishes) share a ¾ bathroom. The 2nd floor has a laundry room, too. The 3rd floor incl. a sweet bonus room. The walk-out basement leads to a 4th bedroom, another large laundry room, a beautiful 3/4 bath & out to a stone patio. Many recent updates since 2022-see attached list.
