Nestled on charming Gates Street in the heart of the South End, this stunning late-19th-century New Englander is a rare find with high ceilings, recessed lighting, original refurbished pine floors, a beautifully landscaped and fenced "pocket garden," and two coveted, off-street, brick parking spaces! A spacious, newly renovated kitchen features all brand-new appliances including a 6-burner Wolf stove and Sub-Zero fridge, plus granite countertops and imported Italian tile backsplash. The kitchen opens to a cozy family room with a functional wood stove, and a comfortable living room graces the front of the house. Renowned local architect Anne Whitney designed the light-filled skylighted and vaulted-ceiling dining room addition on the back of the house. The home is complete with 3 bedrooms, recently renovated 1.5 baths, a finished (not heated) full attic used for home gym and storage, and a full basement with additional storage and washer/ dryer. House is in excellent condition with a top-of-the-line Rinnai heating system, an on-demand hot water heater, and new exterior paint coming next month. Right around the corner from beautiful Prescott Park and a 5-minute walk to all the magic downtown Portsmouth has to offer, this home is sure to go fast! Available end of October.
