This hidden gem is ideally located minutes to beaches, downtown Portsmouth, restaurants, shopping... Sited atop a slightly sloped front yard, ideally tucked away from the road, accented by perfectly placed gardens & trees--including a Dwarf Japanese Maple--sits the home at 1380 Elwyn Rd. Once in the Front Entry, you're greeted w/ the warmth of inviting colors and the attention to detail--hardwd floors, natural light from generous windows, built-ins, & wood fireplace. To the right of the Front Entry is the open Living Rm. w/ the ambience of a wood burning fireplace. Just around the corner is the Dining Rm w/ built-in cabinet. From the Dining Rm step down to the Screened Porch--enjoy dinner alfresco, play games, kick back & relax, watch the birds or family/friends playing lawn games in the ever-so private, landscaped backyard. Upon entering the house again, step into the Galley Kitchen from the Dining Rm. At the other end of the Kitchen is the Back Hall, which leads to the door to the backyd, stairs to the basement, back to the Front Entry, & down the hall to the 3 Bedrms (one currently used as an Office) & the newly-renovated Bathroom w/ electric radiant-heated floor, heated towel bars, amazing shower, wall-hung vanity, & state-of-the-art lighted mirror. The super-dry basement houses laundry area, newer utilities, work space, fireplace w/ woodstove, 1/2 bath, & is a few steps to the garage. With so much of the big ticket items done, simply move in & enjoy living!
