About this home
One of Portsmouth’s rarest waterfront homes, fully remodeled and walkable to town.12 Ruth Street has over 3000 plus of livable space. This desirable .61-acre lot has unsurpassable views of Portsmouth water and skyscape. Situated on a low-trafficked dead-end street that ends at this home, and the conservation land surrounding it is a rare find indeed. The many windows and exterior decks will make you want to purchase binoculars or a telescope for your family's enjoyment of watching the water and land life. This estate-like home is simply magnificent. Current owners have replaced roof, added solar powered heat pumps and central air, replaced flooring and remodelled the entire home from top to bottom. They also added onto this already fabulous home with a new great room featuring vaulted ceilings and gas fireplace with views of the expansive yard. Upstairs, the primary suite offers sweeping water views, a private deck, a generous walk-in closet (25'2" x 13'10"), and a spa-style bath with a freestanding soaking tub. Four additional bedrooms with multiple bonus spaces ensure room for work, fitness, and relaxation. This truly is a once in a lifetime opportunity. The home is located outside of the FEMA flood zone and current owners have applied and are waiting for dock approval. Walk to Portsmouth's vibrant downtown and the West End from this well located location. A rare lot size in a downtown neighborhood. Showings begin on Friday, October 17th and are by appointment only.
