1701 lafayette road

A rare opportunity to live in Portsmouth's coveted Elwyn Park neighborhood. Every room has been thoughtfully updated or renovated as well as the roof (2 yrs), exterior (3 yrs) and heating system. The main level has hardwood throughout and a neutral palate. Relax in the bright and spacious living/family room with a wood burning fireplace and light streaming in from 3 sides. Adjacent to the living room is an office/study with scenic views of the expansive yard and vegetation. The kitchen is the place to gather, with ample room for all your guests. The appliances are newer, and there is a dining area and a huge walk-in pantry conveniently located next to the garage for easy unloading of groceries. Also on the main level - a powder room and direct access from the kitchen to the oversized deck with hot tub. Head upstairs where you'll find 4 generously-sized bedrooms, including an ensuite primary with an amazing walk-in closet where no detail was missed including vaulted ceiling and custom closet fit out. The primary has a stylish bathroom with tiled shower, plus an additional sitting room with direct access to a balcony that looks onto the back yard. The option is there to separate the primary suite from the rest of the house to create an in-law or au pair with a private entrance. Outside you'll love whiling the afternoon away on the deck that overlooks the meticulously landscaped grounds. Attached garage, full basement, great school district on public transportation!
