Property Description

This historic 18th century home features three fireplaces, exposed brickwork, hand-hewn beams, raised paneling and pocket shutters. The kitchen with soapstone sink connects to the rest of the home, creating a circular flow around the center chimney - perfect for entertaining. The 9-panel front door opens to a dramatic “good morning staircase” with beautiful exposed brick. The home was re-plumbed, rewired, insulated & more. The original beams and subfloor were modernized and concrete footings were added to help avoid some of the pitfalls of antique homes. The dry basement has a partial slab and new forced hot air furnace. Upstairs you'll find a primary bedroom with large closet & en-suite bath featuring a washer & dryer. Another full bath & bedroom complete the second floor. On the third floor you'll find two more cozy bedrooms with exposed beams. 28 Whidden boasts two driveways - a rarity in the South End! Out back you'll find a fenced yard. The former garage was converted to a summer room/studio—it's ready to be revived or converted back to a garage. This house is a testament to period architecture. It has been taken care of for the past 35 years by a well known local historian and is ready for its next caretaker. Homes are rarely available on this quiet dead-end street which has access to South Mill Pond and is a short walk to all that downtown Portsmouth has to offer. This is your chance to own a piece of history in Portsmouth's highly desirable South End!
