51 Richards Ave, Portsmouth, NH 03801

Iconic 18th century Portsmouth home that celebrates the ease of "great room" living. With streamlined forms, useful conveniences, and fanciful details this home balances congenial tradition with heirloom quality and design. This home welcomes entertaining as well as family life, with rooms as friendly as they are practical. The soothing simplicity of the crown moldings, period mantles, tile work and pocket doors are in keeping with the 1700's Little Harbor home. The familiar motto, "A Place for Everything" comes to mind when stepping into the kitchen. Cabinets & granite topped work surfaces were built to make the most of the available space. Tin ceiling unifies the kitchen to the open dining area. French glass doors off the dining area frame the perennial pocket gardens at the rear of home. Master Suite is complete w/built-ins, dressing area and spa inspired bath. Detached Carriage House/Studio that's plumbed for an add'l bath offers endless possibilities as in-law apt, office or more
