Privateer’s Haven in Portsmouth, NH’s South End

333 Marcy Street, Portsmouth, New Hampshire

Offered at $1,575,000

Home of Capt. Benj. Damrell, Shipmaster and Privateer in the War of 1812

Welcome to 333 Marcy Street, a lovingly preserved and thoughtfully modernized home tucked into the heart of Portsmouth’s historic South End, just a short stroll from the waterfront, theaters, and some of New England’s finest cuisine.

Over the past 25 years, the current owners have approached this home with both passion and precision—restoring its character with meticulous craftsmanship while gently integrating modern comforts.

The home welcomes you with a cast iron entry lock and weathered brass skeleton key, signaling you are entering someplace special. Inside, high-ceilinged, sunlit rooms reveal two reconstructed Rumford fireplaces, each with period paneling and carved mantels, custom wood shutters, and finished wood floors.

The chef’s kitchen is an absolute standout—featuring tiger maple cabinetry, soapstone counters, backsplashes, and farmer’s sink, with Sub-Zero and other high-end appliances. Designed to complement the home’s period aesthetic, it also offers modern ease with high ceilings, light controls, and screened skylights. A cozy family room opens to a gated garden patio, with two mature pear trees and a lush flower garden, offering a serene space for reading, gathering, or enjoying the sea breeze.

Upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms and a bright, tiled bath with a clawfoot tub, walk-in shower, and radiant heat floors. The primary bedroom features new built-ins and remarkably beautiful natural light. A finished attic offers a tucked-away office, storage, and seasonal closet space.

The property’s surprising crown jewel is the restored two-story Carriage House, complete with its own heating system, water, water heater, and electric service. The second level holds a charming bedroom with ¾ bath, while the first floor houses laundry, storage, and a one-car garage. The building already meets many requirements for a Special Exception ADU, offering flexibility for guests or future income.

And just outside your front door?

A gourmet wine & cheese shop, upscale fish market and lobster pound, South End Yacht Club, kayak rentals, and Geno’s chowder house are mere steps away. This home places you in the heart of Portsmouth’s vibrant food scene and walkable waterfront lifestyle.
