Rare Downtown Portsmouth Ownership Opportunity — Standalone, Turnkey, and FSBO
Opportunities like this don’t come along often in Portsmouth’s historic downtown. Own a 600 SF standalone commercial property just steps from Strawberry Banke and the revitalizing State/Pleasant Street corridor — without the headaches of condo fees or shared ownership.
This property is move-in ready and designed for flexibility, making it perfect for:
• A boutique retailer or gallery owner ready to capture foot traffic
• A wellness practitioner or creative entrepreneur wanting a signature space
• A savvy 1031 exchange buyer seeking a hard-to-find boutique asset with predictable costs
Property Highlights:
• $14,000 in custom retail fixtures already in place
• Gallery-style lighting & soaring ceilings that showcase your brand
• Custom kitchenette + hookups for food use (previously a pizza restaurant)
• Energy-efficient Mitsubishi heat pump system (approx. 5 yrs old)
• Full documentation of recent renovations available
Why This Property Stands Out:
• No condo fees — one of the very few standalone commercial properties in Portsmouth
• Lower annual operating costs (taxes ~$5,500/yr, insurance ~$1,000/yr)
• Prime location drawing both local regulars and steady tourist traffic
• Flexible zoning: retail, wellness, grab-and-go food, gallery, or creative office
? Offered directly by owner (FSBO) for a streamlined, responsive process.
