Charming 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath New Englander with water views, nestled in the Christian Shore neighborhood along Portsmouth’s North Mill Pond. One of three homes built by George Joseph Marden in the 1890s, this home retains its historic soul with wide-pine floors, exposed brick, and pine trim that reflects the craftsmanship of its era. The main level offers a light-filled living room, spacious kitchen with center island, bar seating, and space for a breakfast table. Just off the kitchen is a versatile room that functions well as a dining room or playroom, along with a cozy nook perfectly suited for a home office or reading area. A half bath and stackable laundry complete the main level. Upstairs, you'll find two cozy cathedral-ceiling bedrooms, a walk-in closet, and a roomy full bath. Additions and improvements have been made over time, offering immediate enjoyment or the chance to further personalize. The backyard is fully fenced and beautifully landscaped, featuring mature trees, perennial gardens, and a brick patio ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A detached outbuilding provides excellent storage, workshop flexibility, or future ADU potential. Over 85’ of dry-stacked stone wall frames the home and leads to a 75’ private driveway, offering rare off-street parking. Enjoy water views from the porch, kitchen, living room, and upstairs front room. Walk to downtown, or the West End, and access Rt 95 within minutes. Showings begin on Fri 06/27/25.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
