Historic Portsmouth Townhouse w/3 Parking Spaces | House in Portsmouth
7 Bedroom House in Portsmouth
3-level 19th century townhouse in Portsmouth's National Register Downtown Historic District. Guests have exclusive use of the entire townhouse during their stay plus THREE PARKING SPACES. All levels are open to cross sea breezes from Portsmouth Harbor just a few blocks away; the 3rd floor loft has birds' eye views of historic properties and open sky, and is filled with warm woodwork. Second floor level includes 2 kitchens, parlors, and bath with clawfoot tub, all trimmed in period mouldings.
The property was the site of Daniel Webster's home which burned down in the Great Fire. This building was erected with required brick firewalls--exposed in Apt 1 and the loft. The ornate and wide mouldings were produced by the mill whose owner once lived across the street. All the spaces have been decorated with curated local art, and furnished with an eclectic mix of modern, vintage, and antique pieces--with a dash of contemporary accessories and tech for guest convenience and entertainment.
++++
The wood flooring in the loft and Apt 1 are original to the building--as are the **STEEP STAIRS TO THE LOFT.** If any family members have mobility challenges--or tend to travel with oversized luggage--the loft might not be the best spot for them. But there are 3 other sleeping options between the first and second floors.
++++
!! 3 free on-site, off-street PARKING spaces in our lot INCLUDED during your rental!!
++++
Additional “Piano Parlor” 1st floor office space for rent for an additional $40/day. (shown at end of listing photos.)
++++
The property is managed by the owner who lives just a few blocks away, and hosted by Meghan, a local, self-employed small business owner.
The entire townhouse is for your exclusive use. THREE off-street parking spaces on the property are included during your stay. One extra spot may be available for an additional $30/day fee. Inquire before or after booking.
Extra cars can also park in the free 72-hour lot one block away, or in the metered spaces in front of the building.
Once you park, you won't need your car again unless you want to head out to our local beaches or trails.
There is a keyed and key-code front door plus a keyed back door off the parking lot.
I am the property owner and have *SuperHost* status, but have passed the baton to my Co-Host, Meghan, to be #1 in Guest Relations .
My husband & I are focused on restoring this historic building and slowly transitioning to semi-retirement. We live just a few blocks away and are always available to support Meghan and tend to any physical plant needs.
We prefer guests send any questions via the messaging string. If an urgent concern, a call or text is prudent. *Safety/health emergency, always call 911 first.*
This listing is offered to extended/families up to 10 people or VERY chill friend groups. There are no parties or celebratory events, or revelry of any kind permitted, and only booked guests are allowed on the property during the stay. (Daytime visitors may be allowed with written permission from the Host.)
++++
***There is no central air: window and floor AC units are placed throughout the building. Available fans can be used to move cool air, and ceiling fans can also be used. *Note: the loft is a tall attic space in a historic building, so heat waves present a challenge to keep the loft below 76 in the afternoon. We find that if shades are kept closed to the sun all day, and windows are opened at dusk to let in cool evening air with ACs set to Fan, the space can stay comfortable and get cool for sleeping--but it may require some active managing by guests.
++++
We are sticklers about energy conservation—no open windows allowed during heating or AC season (unless AC is on fan mode), lights should be off when you’re out, etc and we supply one set of bath towels per guest, per stay, for water and energy conservation. (Longer-length stay guests can certainly wash them with in the units’ W&Ds.)
++++
We do not roll our cleaning fees into a larger nightly rate (as many hosts do these days) because we want you to know that the people tending to your rental are paid a fair and living wage for their work.
++++
We do ask guests to strip their beds and wash any used dishes/glassware/utensils before they check out. This helps make cleaning safer for our housekeeper, and housekeeping rates reasonable.
++++
Finally, please keep in mind that this is a vintage and historic building with some quirks as well as charm.
We strive to provide a space with both character and comfort, and are proud to be locally owned and managed.
