395 Little Harbor Rd, Portsmouth, NH 03801

Property Description

Perched above the Piscataqua River at the end of what most consider the prettiest road in historic Portsmouth, this exceptionally well-constructed contemporary offers a combination of waterfront living, privacy and recreation. Built into a natural slope overlooking the confluence of the Little Harbor branch of the Piscataqua River and Sagamore Creek, the home captures magnificent views of Little Harbor, New Castle, and the historic Wentworth by the Sea Hotel. Less than 100 yards upriver, the property shares the shoreline with the historic Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion, home of New Hampshire's first royal governor. The setting is quintessential Seacoast. Enjoy your morning coffee from an upper deck or lower-level waterfront patio as lobster boats make their way toward the open ocean. Clam diggers may be working the nearby flats, while striped bass fishermen follow schools of baitfish, and kayakers, paddleboarders and windsurfers enjoy the protected waters. The property's own waterfront tennis court offers a remarkable recreational amenity against the backdrop of Little Harbor and the New Castle shoreline. Multiple decks and outdoor living areas take full advantage of the changing tides, passing boats and expansive views. Just minutes from downtown Portsmouth's historic sites, celebrated restaurants, shops and cultural attractions, this distinctive property combines contemporary architecture, quality construction and an exceptional waterfront setting, where the beauty, history and maritime character of the Seacoast become part of everyday life.
