Description
Tucked between Spruce Creek and the Piscataqua River's Back Channel, Newson Avenue is a small, peaceful neighborhood...and home to this lovingly restored New Englander (c.1920) with an attached 2-car garage and a smart, stylish ADU (c.2021) on a quarter-acre lot! Its original charm preserved, the 3-bedroom main house lives larger than its ~2,000 SF of finished space (1,865 SF heated, 167 SF unheated). It exudes earthy tones and textures that will capture your heart...from pine floors and classic millwork to woven shades and crisp plantation shutters. A wraparound 4-season sunporch is ideal for sharing a cup of tea with friends or curling up with a good book. Many evenings have been enjoyed in the main kitchen (renovated in 2016), preparing meals and entertaining as guests relax at the granite peninsula. Note: cooks will appreciate having the purveyors of 'gourmet alley' nearby (~1.5 miles)! A thoughtfully added 672 SF, 1-bedroom ADU offers versatility...reserve for family or guests, or leverage for rental income. Every inch of indoor and outdoor space was carefully considered for efficiency...and its stunning, south-facing stone patio is as functional as beautiful! The lifestyle here is light and breezy to match its coastal setting. Fill your summer days with visits to Kittery Point's Seapoint Beach and Fort Foster (~4 miles), and carefree sidewalk strolls to the popular cafes, restaurants, and shops of Kittery Foreside (~1 mile) and downtown Portsmouth (~2 miles).
