When you enter this quintessential Portsmouth condo in the Franklin Schoolhouse, you will know how special it would be to call it home. The kitchen offers state of the art stainless steel appliances, Carrara marble countertops and a cherry butcher block eat-in kitchen island. Pass through the open concept living and dining spaces featuring cathedral ceilings with exposed brick, original 1847 beams and new 12-over-12 windows. In colder months enjoy the warmth of a fire in the wood stove. Just off the living room you will find a roof deck with 180-degree views, including water views of North Mill Pond, the bridge to Maine and the delightful chimneys of Portsmouth’s historic homes. Enjoy your morning coffee in this lovely space, or relax here at the end of the day as you watch the sunset over the treetops from this unique vantage point. Upstairs, the full bath features a marble countertop, brass fixtures and smart washer and dryer. The primary bedroom incorporates original brick walls and custom built-in drawers, while the second bedroom maintains many of the same features as the primary - new energy efficient skylights, shiplap and original beams. The Association offers ease of ownership and peace of mind with pets allowed and dedicated parking spaces. Take advantage of this rare opportunity for a move-in ready property, a short walk from downtown, and enjoy the beautiful summer months ahead in Portsmouth. SHOWINGS BEGIN THURSDAY 4/18. OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY 4/20 10-2.
