Real Estate
A Massive Early 1800s Home Moments Away From Downtown Portsmouth
52 Austin St. in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, known as the Pickering-Heffenger house, has a renovated carriage house used for rental income.

PORTSMOUTH, NH — Located steps away from vibrant downtown Portsmouth, this historic federal home built in 1804 features more than 5,100 square feet of living space, 6 bedrooms, and 6.5 bathrooms.
Known as the Pickering-Heffenger house, these walls have a story to tell — the home was host to a peace treaty ball between the Japanese and Russians during the Treaty of Portsmouth in 1905. The elegance of another era is evident throughout this three-story sun-filled home with exquisite crown moldings and trim, arched doorways, marble fireplace surrounds, and the lovely, curved staircase with its decorative spindles, a center focus of the entry hall.
