- Description: Welcome to 65 McKinley Road, a fabulous opportunity set on a generous .39-acre fenced corner lot in Portsmouth's highly sought-after Elwyn Park neighborhood. Just three miles from the heart of downtown, this property offers the perfect blend of location, character, and untapped potential. This home is being offered for sale for the first time in almost 40 years! Brimming with charm, the home showcases original hardwood floors, curved archways, and classic details that evoke warmth and authenticity. With four bedrooms-two conveniently located on the first floor and two additional, cozy spaces upstairs-the layout offers flexibility for some expansion on the second level. A full bath on the main level and an attached one-car garage with overhead storage add everyday functionality to the home's enduring appeal. The expansive, fully fenced backyard is a standout feature-offering abundant space for pets, gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the outdoors. With its size and positioning, the lot may also present the possibility for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), subject to local approvals, further enhancing the property's versatility and long-term value. This is a truly special opportunity for both homeowners and investors alike. Whether you're looking to personalize a charming residence, renovate and expand, or explore income-generating potential, the possibilities here are extensive. Properties in this area rarely offer this combination of lot size, and equity potential. You won't want to miss out on this one, priced well below assessed value.
