139 Clinton Street

Some homes simply don’t come along often. Having changed hands only 3 times, 139 Clinton Street is quintessential Portsmouth—historic character, modern updates, remarkable outdoor space and undeniable warmth in the heart of the West End. Set on a quiet, highly walkable street, the curb appeal alone is unforgettable. Enjoy morning coffee on the beautifully crafted covered front porch, peek-a-boo Mill Pond views from the custom stone patio, evenings around the firepit, gardening among established perennials and massive hydrangeas, or time spent enjoying the swingset and backyard—there are so many places here to relax, gather and smile. Inside, sunlight pours through oversized windows onto gleaming wood floors, tall ceilings and original woodwork, while thoughtful modern updates complement the home’s historic soul. The warm kitchen features a natural gas range, stainless appliances, granite and butcher block counters, bar seating, a walk-in pantry and serene backyard views, flowing naturally to the dining and living spaces with gorgeous custom built-ins. A second living space, full bath and laundry complete the first floor. Upstairs, pine floors lead to a spacious primary with dual closets, 2 additional bedrooms and a 3/4 bath. The third floor offers high ceilings and exciting potential for future finished space. Out back, mature trees create incredible privacy around the crushed-stone patio, firepit, gardens and play area—a backyard retreat rarely found in Portsmouth. A detached, airy outbuilding with soaring ceilings is currently a home gym and offers amazing office or studio potential. Walk, bike or easily head downtown while coming home to quiet, privacy and room to unwind. Close to dining, shopping and everything Portsmouth, this is the rare combination buyers wait for. Full of character, warmth and love, this one truly has it all. Open House Saturday 12–2PM!
