20 Dismukes St #NA · Apartment for Rent

Looking for a home that feels like a quiet retreat but still keeps you close to everything? This beautifully renovated 2-bedroom, 1-bath cape checks all the boxes and then casually adds a few more. Step inside to a bright, open-concept main level with recently updated finishes and brand-new appliances. Hardwood floors run throughout, giving the whole space that warm, polished feel without trying too hard. Location perks (a.k.a. humble brag): * 1 block from Spruce Creek (yes, it's as peaceful as it sounds) * 1 mile to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard * 1 mile to downtown Portsmouth's shops, restaurants, and general charm Outdoor magic: This home sits on a spacious double lot with off-street parking for two cars. The front and back yards are filled with established perennial gardens, plus raised vegetable beds if you're feeling ambitious (or we can tuck them away if your green thumb is more theoretical). Oh, and there are apple and cherry trees, because why not live like you're in a postcard? The fully fenced backyard features a custom horizontal woven wood privacy fence and a back deck off the kitchen complete with patio furniture, perfect for morning coffee or evening unwinding. Pet-friendly (because they're family): Dogs and cats are welcome, and there's even a small pet door already installed. No pet? No problem, it can be closed up. The practical stuff: * Washer & dryer in basement * Option to rent furnished or unfurnished * Water, sewer, and trash included Rent: $3,200/month Lease: 1 year required If you've been looking for a home that blends comfort, character, and just enough charm to make your friends a little jealous this just might be it. Owner pays for water, sewer and trash. Renter pays for electricity, heat, internet. NO smoking. Up to 3 pets are ok.
