Morning coffee in the sunroom, dinner with friends in the dining room, and an evening stroll into downtown Dover. Set along a lovely tree-lined street in the highly desirable Olde Dover neighborhood, this home offers more space than you might expect and charm you’ll appreciate every day. A brick walkway welcomes you inside, where solid wood doors, period molding, original glass doorknobs, and skeleton keys tell the story of a home with lasting character. A brick fireplace anchors the inviting living room, while the heated sunroom provides a bright spot to unwind in every season. The separate dining room makes gathering easy, and the traditional galley kitchen features vintage cabinetry and a wood-and-glass cupboard for displaying your favorite pieces. Two bedrooms and a full bath complete the main floor. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite stretches the length of the home, with high ceilings, built-in storage, and a dormer nook perfect for a reading chair, creative space, or home office. The basement offers storage and a work area with tables and benches for your next project. Outside, the fenced rear yard provides room to garden, gather, or simply enjoy some fresh air, with a shed for additional storage. With downtown shops, restaurants, and community events within walking distance, you can enjoy a quaint neighborhood setting while staying close to the places that make Dover feel like home.
