Waterfront charm on North Mill Pond! Wake up to water views every single day with a spacious, private backyard. This beautifully maintained antique Colonial sits directly on North Mill Pond, just a short stroll to Barrio, Market Square and everything downtown Portsmouth has to offer. Inside, you'll find a warm, character-filled first floor with a living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry area, a panoramic sunroom, and front and rear entryway/mudrooms. Step out onto an expansive deck overlooking the grassy yard and the pond beyond, perfect for morning coffee, grilling, playing with the dogs, or evening sunsets. The landscaping provides a sense of serenity and isolation from the hustle and bustle of downtown. The location offers an excellent opportunity to kayak, fish, or host friends or family to watch Portsmouth’s fireworks or even the biennial Air Show at Pease, without ever needing to leave your home! The bird watching is also excellent – herons, bald eagles, Kingfishers, and more! Upstairs offers two spacious bedrooms, a full bath, plus a bonus space that's ideal for a home office, nursery, or extra living area. Set on a quarter-acre lot with an oversized two-car detached garage, this home blends historic New England charm with everyday functionality and yes, dogs are welcome and will have space to run.
