17 Hampshire Road, Portsmouth, NH 03801

A rare opportunity to own a home less than 2 miles to Market Square, on a quiet side street in an established neighborhood. One owner in the last 20 years, the property has been maintained meticulously.  Updates include: new windows and doors where needed, cedar siding, new roof, water-proofed basement, new front steps and a new back deck.  There are gleaming hardwood floors throughout the main level. The sun streams into the living room in the morning and kitchen in afternoon - sunny spaces all day. The driveway is flanked by two Katsura specimen trees.  The private backyard is enhanced by Black Spruce and Columnar Crab Apple trees as well as a variety of flowering shrubs and copious low-maintenance Pachysandra ground cover. Step inside through the main entrance to the recently painted living room with a handy coat closet and stairs to the second floor.  The living room opens up to the dining area with its sliding glass door to the back deck and beautiful garden. The kitchen is open to the dining area.  Off the back hall are a tiled full bath and two bedrooms.  Upstairs is a surprisingly spacious master bedroom suite with oversized bathroom and walk-in closet, a skylit work alcove and large windows overlooking the backyard gardens.  In the basement are the two-zoned boiler, hot water heater, washer-dryer hookups, a  new sump pump and a bulkhead exit to the backyard.  The one car garage is connected to the house via mudroom. Additional workshop off the garage.
