Welcome to 609 State St., where Portsmouth history & modern living come together in an exceptional downtown setting. Originally built in 1890, the beautifully preserved Whipple School has been thoughtfully transformed into an intimate 11-unit condominium association, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of Portsmouth's architectural history just 1 block from the heart of downtown. Uniquely positioned as the only 1st-floor residence, this exceptional condo unit offers single-level living with direct walk-out access to a private rear patio - an especially rare amenity in downtown Portsmouth. The pet-friendly association makes it easy to step outside with your four-legged companion, while the coveted location places the best of the city just beyond your doorstep. Inside, this beautifully updated 2-bed, 2-full-bath home seamlessly blends original character with stylish modern enhancements. The spacious, open-concept living, dining, & kitchen areas create an inviting setting. The recently renovated kitchen is a standout, featuring granite countertops, tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, an induction range, & wine refrigerator. Both bathrooms have also been tastefully renovated, & the entire interior has been freshly painted. Adding to the appeal is an abundance of storage, including generous storage within the unit, a dedicated basement storage area, and additional common storage - an uncommon luxury for a historic downtown property. The well-maintained association continues to invest in the upkeep of the building & grounds, providing peace of mind & lasting appeal. 2 parking spaces further enhance convenience. Leave the car behind and immerse yourself in the Portsmouth lifestyle, with acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, galleries, & vibrant downtown amenities just steps away. A truly distinctive property offering historic character, thoughtful updates, private outdoor space, exceptional storage, & an unbeatable downtown location.
