In his day, Portsmouth Mayor F. W. Hartford had grand visions for the City of Portsmouth. From humble roots, Hartford rose to become publisher and then owner of the Portsmouth Herald and the Music Hall. He wanted a home reflecting his station. That home, now combining fine Victorian elements with contemporary improvements, is an exciting offering in today's real estate market. Here are light-filled, hand-crafted formal rooms, complimented with creative built-ins and six fireplaces (five working) each with individual and ornate mantels. Walking through the dining room, one can imagine a warm, crackling fire. Formal crockery is stored in a corner hutch with leaded glass doors. The kitchen, with Wolf and Subzero appliances, has a soapstone island, polished nickel fixtures and Brazilian cherry countertops. This understated elegance and design merited a stop on the Music Hall's Annual Kitchen Tour. The warm and appealing master suite has a vast walk-in closet and well-appointed ensuite bath. The contemporary sunroom with soaring cathedral ceiling and pyramid skylight overlooks the beautiful stone Church next door and its veritable carpet of pumpkins in the Fall.The entire residence is surrounded by brilliant perennial gardens and found on a quiet, tree-lined street and is just a short walk to area parks and downtown Portsmouth.

This house caught your attention because it has modern, elegant & contemporary written all over it. Quite frankly, very few houses come on the market as unique as this one. The upstairs unit offers a mix of bamboo hardwood floors as well as poured epoxy floors that resemble the colors of certain planets. The 3 bedrooms, complete kitchen with a 6 range Bertazzoni and 3 baths offer an atmosphere that is ideal for many uses. The open floor plan and immense amount of natural sunlight make the upstairs unit a wonderful place to live and also to host intimate parties and events. The downstairs, in-law apartment, has the same mix of bamboo and epoxy floors. It comes with its own complete, custom made kitchen with stainless steel counter-tops. The master bedroom has its own master bath that was intricately laid out and designed to maximize sunlight. This space can be used to host in-laws, an Au Pair, Nanny or could be used as an office if you work from home. But let's not forget to mention the detached barn…This is one of the most exciting features of this stunning house. Let's say that you'd like your own insulated and heated art studio…Perhaps you're a car or motorcycle aficionado? Maybe you already own a boat that will fit nicely inside? Either way, you'll be located east of Rye center, Rye Harbor, a short distance from the white sands of Jenness Beach and an easy coastal drive to downtown Portsmouth. Curious? I thought so. It's one of a kind, and one amazing place to call home.
