If you’ve been searching for a one-of-a-kind home in the heart of Portsmouth, NH, your search ends at 226 Park Street. This meticulously reimagined 1924 bungalow is one of the most impressive in-town properties to hit the Portsmouth real estate market in years — and it’s now available at $2,500,000.
A Complete Transformation: Rebuilt for Modern Living
Originally built in 1924, 226 Park Street underwent a total gut renovation and rebuild in 2020/2021, completed in collaboration with Auger Builders. The result is a home that blends the timeless curb appeal of a classic Portsmouth bungalow with the quality, finishes, and technology you’d expect from new construction.
From the moment you arrive, the welcoming farmer’s porch sets the tone — charming and inviting, with nods to the home’s historic character. Step inside, and the transformation is immediately apparent.
Thoughtful Open-Concept Design on the Main Level
The main level is a showcase of smart, modern design. An open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area is flooded with natural light through oversized windows. A gas fireplace anchors the living space, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere that works equally well for quiet evenings at home and large-scale entertaining.
The chef’s kitchen is designed to impress, featuring custom cabinetry and high-end finishes throughout. Whether you’re preparing a casual weeknight dinner or hosting friends, this kitchen delivers both form and function.
The Showpiece: A Four-Season Sunroom Unlike Any Other
Perhaps the most dramatic feature of this property is the spectacular four-season sunroom, added as part of the 2020 renovation. Featuring cathedral ceilings and a striking steel-and-glass structure, the sunroom overlooks the beautifully designed, professionally landscaped yard — offering a serene retreat in every season. It’s a space that needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
Upstairs: Comfortable, Private, and Beautifully Finished
The second floor offers two well-appointed bedrooms, each designed with comfort and privacy in mind.
The primary suite features double closets and a custom-designed bath that feels like a true retreat. The second bedroomis equally inviting, with its own private bath access — ideal for guests, family, or a home office setup.
Finished Lower Level: Flexible Space for Every Lifestyle
The finished lower level adds approximately 600 square feet of additional living space to the home’s 1,978 square feet above grade. Whether you envision a game room, media area, home gym, or overflow sleeping space for guests, this level expands the home’s versatility significantly.
The Lot and Outdoor Space: A Rare Find In-Town
Situated on an 8,712 square foot lot — generous by Portsmouth in-town standards — the property is thoughtfully landscaped by professional designers. Tree-lined streets with sidewalks, street lighting, and a paved driveway with garage complete the picture. This is outdoor living done right, just minutes from everything Portsmouth has to offer.
Walkability and Location: The Best of Downtown Portsmouth
226 Park Street sits on one of Portsmouth’s most desirable tree-lined residential streets, within walking distance of:
- Award-winning Portsmouth restaurants and cafes
- Boutique shops and galleries in the historic downtown
- The scenic waterfront and Prescott Park
