A small cottage in Portsmouth is being offered for $2 million.
While the Seacoast is no stranger to high-priced homes listed in places like the New York Times, this latest listing stands out because of its size – 320 square feet of living area.
According to Portsmouth property records, the cheery, yet humble structure at 445 Marcy St. consists of a single room and an adjoining three-season porch, clad in bright blue asbestos shingles the color of robins’ eggs and accented with white trim.
The lot is just over one-third of an acre.
In total, the property is assessed at $681,100: $2,900 for the “improvements” on the lot, $678,200 for the land itself.
According to the listing, the property is “the last large lot” in Portsmouth’s sought-after South Side. It also sits a block away from the water.
Liz Levey-Pruyn of REMax/Shoreline is the listing agent.
