A coastal home with a story to tell now a modern Portsmouth retreat! Originally a Prudence Island fishing cottage, this unique residence was transported to the mainland decades ago and thoughtfully expanded over the years. Blending coastal character with thoughtful improvements, you'll appreciate the new heating system, ductless mini-splits with AC, the new septic system, and a whole-house generator.

The sun-filled family room is a highlight, seamlessly connected to the dining space and the coziest room for relaxation and gathering! A bonus area off the family room is ideal as an office or homework room. A convenient half bath completes the main level. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and a full bathroom with a tub/shower. Convenient deck access for grilling and entertaining, with an expansive backyard for fire pit hangouts, gardening and play. Set in Northern Portsmouth, you'll have easy access to local schools, Route 24, and a short drive to waterfront dining in Island Park or downtown Bristol!
