Located in the heart of Portsmouth’s beloved South End, the James T. Fields House offers a rare opportunity to own a charming 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhouse-style condominium. Over the years, it was home to notable residents, including James T. Fields, renowned editor of The Atlantic Monthly, for whom the property is named. The most recent renovation, completed in the 1980s, thoughtfully preserved many original architectural details, including wide pine floors, exposed beams, gunstock corners, plaster walls, and a Rumford fireplace (non-working). Warm and inviting living spaces feature a picturesque window and a distinctive corner door leading to a charming shared garden with an arbor-covered patio and separate seating area—an ideal outdoor retreat in the city. Designed for flexibility and comfort, the home offers a bedroom and bath on both the second and third floors, along with in-unit laundry. Set within a small two-unit association with no monthly fee, this special property is surrounded by quality antique homes and enjoys a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere just moments from everything downtown Portsmouth has to offer.
