20 Doris Avenue, Portsmouth, NH, 03801 | $839,999

Renovated Cape. Real backyard. Right next to the hospital. Three bedrooms, 2. 5 baths, and nearly 12, 000 sq ft of land in one of Portsmouth's most convenient pockets. The outdoor space alone sets this apart — brand-new patio, full privacy, and enough yard for a pool, garden, fire pit, or all three. This is the backyard that's nearly impossible to find at this price point in Portsmouth. Inside, the renovation is complete. New kitchen with updated cabinetry, appliances, and lighting. Hardwood floors throughout. Living, dining, and kitchen flow naturally together — open and functional without feeling overdone. The finished lower level adds a half bath and bonus space for a home office, gym, or guest room. Not included in the square footage, so you're getting more than the numbers show. Outside: new driveway, new walkway, strong curb appeal. Mini split cooling plus oil heat. One-car garage with additional off-street parking. Vinyl siding, asphalt roof, concrete foundation — low maintenance built to last. Location does the heavy lifting. Portsmouth Regional Hospital is directly next door — walk or bike to work with no commute stress. I-95 Exit 3 is minutes away, putting Boston under an hour, Manchester-Boston Regional Airport within 30 minutes, and the entire Seacoast within easy reach. Downtown Portsmouth — with its restaurants, craft breweries, live music, independent shops, and waterfront — is minutes from your door. Seacoast beaches including Hampton and Rye are a short drive. No state income tax. No sales tax. Top-rated schools, a walkable downtown, and a genuine four-season lifestyle. About a mile to Portsmouth High School. Near the golf course. Target, Lowe's, and daily services all within minutes. Vacant, easy to show, and ready to close.

* The Initial Interest Rate and Initial Principal & Interest Payment are fixed for the first and adjust every six months thereafter for the remainder of the loan term. The Interest Rate and annual percentage rate may increase after consummation. The Index for this product is the SOFR. The margin for this adjustable rate mortgage may vary with your unique credit history, and terms of your loan.

** Mortgage Rates are subject to change, loan amount and product restrictions and may not be available for your specific transaction at commitment or closing. Rates, and the margin for adjustable rate mortgages [if applicable], are subject to change without prior notice.

The rates and Annual Percentage Rate (APR) cited above may be only samples for the purpose of calculating payments and are based upon the following assumptions: minimum credit score of 740, 20% down payment (e.g. $20,000 down on a $100,000 purchase price), $1,950 in finance charges, and 30 days prepaid interest, 1 point, 30 day rate lock. The rates and APR will vary depending upon your unique credit history and the terms of your loan, e.g. the actual down payment percentages, points and fees for your transaction. Property taxes and homeowner's insurance are estimates and subject to change.
