Summer afternoons by the pool, morning coffee on the porch, and winter evenings beside a wood-burning fire. 45 Oak Street offers a lifestyle rarely found this close to downtown Dover. Set on a corner lot near Garrison Hill, this distinctive 1882 Cape/New Englander blends period character with a flexible floor plan. Sunlight, hardwood floors, classic trim, and wide openings give the main level an inviting flow. A brick fireplace anchors the living room, while the adjoining den and office, connected by French doors, offer adaptable space for work, reading, hobbies, or play. The bright eat-in kitchen features abundant white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, tiled backsplash, recessed and under-cabinet lighting, breakfast-bar seating, and room for a dining table. An enclosed three-season porch and half bath complete the first floor. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom feels like a retreat with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, skylight, built-in window seating, and walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and a separate sitting room share a generous full bath with a clawfoot soaking tub and separate shower. The partially finished lower level adds a bonus room, half bath, walkout access, laundry, utility space, and storage. Outside is where this property truly separates itself. The fenced backyard is arranged for summer living around a large in-ground pool, expansive deck, screened porch, covered entertaining area, and multiple places to lounge, dine, and gather beneath mature shade. A detached one-car garage, paved driveway, and public water and sewer add everyday convenience. Garrison Hill Park, downtown restaurants and shops, the Dover Community Trail, Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, Amtrak service, and Routes 16 and 4 are all close at hand. Historic character, flexible space, and a remarkable backyard make 45 Oak Street one to see. Schedule your private showing today!
