The ground floor, which is currently commercial, can be easily converted into residential space with ten foot ceilings and two rooms which leads out to a private pocket garden/courtyard with shared one-car parking. The second floor is currently half commercial and half residential and it features a private office or future bedroom, two 1/2 bathrooms separated by the current family room of the private residence above the first floor which also features a tiled solarium/sunroom area with park and river views. The third floor features a formal dining/living area, full bath, laundry and a large island kitchen with exposed brick, exposed beams, Rumford-styled wood-burning FP and access to a private deck for grilling and lounging with river and park views. The fourth and top floor features two BR's with built-ins and a tiled 3/4 bath. Full basement with storage and second washer/dryer hook-up. Keep it both commercial and residential, or convert to 100% residential if you're looking for a well located residence within sight of the water, park and downtown. It could be a generous total of 2,982sf dedicated to a four story residential townhome residence - unheard of in downtown Portsmouth.
