Welcome to the Colonel Joshua Wentworth House, now offered for sale since its complete renovation. Situated in the Strawbery Banke District, this historic home is a short walk to Prescott Park and downtown Portsmouth.

At 5,130 square feet, this air-conditioned three story home is perfect for entertaining, has an open concept kitchen, high ceilings and a full modern basement all rare to find in an 18th century home. The front entry opens to a center hall and stairwell flanked by a parlor and dining room. A second entrance is near the driveway with parking for two cars (expandable to four). The chef’s kitchen has a 6’x5’ island and is open to another dining and living area with fireplace that connects to an office/library and bathroom with VT soapstone. The second floor includes a primary suite, two additional bedrooms and parlor all with paneling, trim work, and fireplaces. The third floor features a large bedroom, bathroom with shower, and two more sitting rooms, one with fireplace. The exterior boasts private fenced gardens, patio and low-maintenance plantings, like magnolias, hydrangea, and a wisteria-covered arbor, providing a perfect spot to relax, garden, and enjoy this oasis all within downtown Portsmouth. It's a rare opportunity to acquire one of the finest homes in the area that has been meticulously restored.
