In his day, Portsmouth Mayor F. W. Hartford had grand visions for the City of Portsmouth. From humble roots, Hartford rose to become publisher and then owner of the Portsmouth Herald and the Music Hall. He wanted a home reflecting his station. That home, now combining fine Victorian elements with contemporary improvements, is an exciting offering in today's real estate market. Here are light-filled, hand-crafted formal rooms, complimented with creative built-ins and six fireplaces (five working) each with individual and ornate mantels. Walking through the dining room, one can imagine a warm, crackling fire. Formal crockery is stored in a corner hutch with leaded glass doors. The kitchen, with Wolf and Subzero appliances, has a soapstone island, polished nickel fixtures and Brazilian cherry countertops. This understated elegance and design merited a stop on the Music Hall's Annual Kitchen Tour. The warm and appealing master suite has a vast walk-in closet and well-appointed ensuite bath. The contemporary sunroom with soaring cathedral ceiling and pyramid skylight overlooks the beautiful stone Church next door and its veritable carpet of pumpkins in the Fall.The entire residence is surrounded by brilliant perennial gardens and found on a quiet, tree-lined street and is just a short walk to area parks and downtown Portsmouth.
