86 Main StreetNew Castle, NH 03854Sale Price: $620,000

Offered for the first time in over 50 years, this lovely antique cape is nestled in the heart of the Village of New Castle. As one of the first homes built on the island, the historic property exudes the character and spirit of a classic New England seaside village. The open concept kitchen, with its peekaboo view of the water, and family room are ideal for entertaining and present a warmth and charm not often found in today's architecture with features such as a gas fireplace, exposed beams, windowed alcove and wide-pine floors. The additional sitting room and full bath/laundry room create the perfect space for conversion to a first-floor master suite, in addition to the 2 bedrooms and full bath present on the second floor. Immerse yourself in the sounds and scents of the Ocean from the private pocket garden in the backyard. At the same time, you are just a short walk to Henry's Market, the Portsmouth Yacht Club, Town library and the New Castle Common beach and recreation area. Enjoy the close proximity of the harborside City of Portsmouth with its upscale shopping, diverse options for dining, and lively theatre and music district. This is a rare find in the Village and offers a unique opportunity to design and/or restore a truly historic seaside home.
