A Private Seacoast Estate of Exceptional Distinction Set on 4.3 beautifully landscaped acres in Dover’s coveted Cocheco neighborhood, this exceptional estate offers a rare blend of privacy, elegance, and effortless accessibility. Mature gardens, stone walkways, and a tranquil pond with a lighted fountain create a serene, resort-like setting. The meticulously maintained grounds are designed for outdoor living and entertaining, featuring a saltwater pool, saltwater hot tub, expansive patio, and fenced in backyard. A charming garden shed adds both character and functionality. Inside, gracious proportions and abundant natural light define the home. The main level features a dramatic cathedral-ceilinged living room with gas fireplace, generous kitchen with breakfast area, formal dining and living rooms, and a bright sunroom opening directly to the patio and gardens. The luxurious primary suite enjoys beautiful backyard views, an en-suite bath, and ample closet space. Upstairs, a private en-suite bedroom overlooks the front grounds, while two additional bedrooms share front and back garden views and a well-appointed bath. A spacious entertainment room and abundant storage provide exceptional flexibility for family and guests. The lower level includes a fitness room with full bath. A standout feature is the detached, heated four-car garage with substantial storage above, accessed by a large staircase and freight elevator along with the 2.5 car attached garage. Subject to approvals, the upper level offers exciting potential for an ADU or additional living, studio, or workspace. Ideally located just five minutes from the Downeaster rail connection and Dover’s downtown restaurants and shopping. The property is 5 minutes to Mass-General / Wentworth Douglas hospital, approximately 20 minutes from Portsmouth and one hour from Boston. A truly distinctive Seacoast offering—private and sophisticated.
