Located in the heart of Portsmouth’s beloved South End, the James T. Fields House offers a rare opportunity to own a charming 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhouse-style condominium that seamlessly blends historic character with comfortable city living. Rich in history, the home began as a single-family residence dating to 1749 and was divided into a two-family home in the 1770s. Over the years, it was home to notable residents, including James T. Fields, renowned editor of The Atlantic Monthly, for whom the property is named. Just moments from Prescott Park, Strawbery Banke, downtown Portsmouth, the waterfront, walking trails, playgrounds, public boat launch, dog park, tennis and pickleball courts, restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and theaters, this exceptional location offers the very best of South End living. The most recent renovation, completed in the 1980s, thoughtfully preserved many original architectural details, including wide pine floors, exposed beams, gunstock corners, plaster walls, and a Rumford fireplace (non working). Warm and inviting living spaces feature a picturesque window and a distinctive corner door leading to a charming shared garden with an arbor-covered patio and separate seating area, an ideal outdoor retreat in the city. Designed for flexibility and comfort, the home offers a bedroom and bath on both the second and third floors, along with in-unit laundry. While there is no deeded off-street parking, ample on street parking is available. Set within a small two-unit association with no monthly fee, this special property is surrounded by quality antique homes and enjoys a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere just moments from everything downtown Portsmouth has to offer.
