The charm of a New England Cape with the allure of a Portsmouth location. Sited on a level quarter-acre in Elwyn Park, this expanded Cape has been carefully maintained and thoughtfully improved. Hardwood floors run through the principal rooms, and a wall of custom built-ins anchors the front living room, where wide windows draw in southern light throughout the day. At the heart of the home, a fully renovated kitchen delivers white Shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, marble subway tile, and a complete stainless appliance suite, with a peninsula for casual seating. The kitchen flows to the dining area and on to a light-filled rear sitting room, where French doors open to the deck and the lawn beyond: an effortless progression of spaces suited equally to quiet evenings and larger gatherings. Four bedrooms and two full baths are thoughtfully arranged, with two bedrooms and both baths positioned on the first floor. The first-floor primary suite featuring a private en-suite bath, makes true single-level living possible without sacrifice — while two additional bedrooms upstairs offer flexibility as families and needs change. The finished lower level provides generous additional space, ideally suited to a recreation room, home gym, studio, or wine and spirits room. Mature plantings and established landscaping frame the grounds, complemented by an attached garage and ample off-street parking. Properties in Elwyn Park rarely come to market, and they seldom linger. Minutes from Market Square, the working waterfront, and the restaurants, galleries, and coastline that define downtown Portsmouth.
