The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and an en-suite full bath, creating a comfortable and functional retreat. Additional amenities include natural gas heat, air conditioning, in-unit laundry, and a professionally managed association - all contributing to effortless downtown living. During the warmer months, relax on the granite front steps and enjoy classic Portsmouth people-watching. Just steps from your door are The Music Hall, Prescott Park, award-winning restaurants, boutique shopping, and waterfront attractions. Parking options are conveniently located directly across the street and nearby. At this price point, it is hard to find a better combination of historic charm, modern convenience, and premier Downtown Portsmouth location.
