Welcome to 37 S. School Street, a recently renovated gem in Portsmouth's Historic South End. Circa 1790, this home blends classic character with modern updates, making it a must-see property. Located adjacent to the South School St Playground, walkable to Prescott Park, Strawberry Banke, the ocean, and various arts and dining options, you'll love the convenience of city living. This Colonial features 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, including a primary en suite bedroom. Two additional bedrooms, one featuring a fireplace, another bathroom, and stackable laundry complete the 2nd floor. Tall ceilings, wide pine floors, built-in cabinetry, and cast iron radiators enhance the historic charm. The living room, with a newly updated gas fireplace, and a spacious dining room are perfect for hosting guests. Powder room and mudroom add to the home's appeal. The property also has approval from the Historic District for a first-floor primary bedroom suite. Dine-in custom kitchen includes high-end stainless appliances and granite counters. Sunlight fills the family room, where French doors lead to a private patio. The nearly fifth-of-an-acre yard is fully fenced and landscaped, a rare find in the city. Relax under the stars, garden, play on the grass, and watch Portsmouth’s fireworks from the comfort of your home. Additional features include a one-car detached garage equipped for EV charging, off-street parking, irrigation and so much more!
