Welcome to 51 Childs Drive, Dover, NH — an exceptional residence in the coveted Cochecho Woods development where sophistication meets everyday comfort. Thoughtfully designed to complement its serene natural surroundings, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath home offers refined living just minutes from downtown Dover, with easy access to Portsmouth and Boston. From the moment you enter, the attention to detail is undeniable. The main level showcases an open-concept floor plan ideal for entertaining while maintaining a warm, inviting flow. The custom kitchen is a true centerpiece—featuring Bosch stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a spacious walk-in pantry with a secondary refrigerator, and a cozy breakfast nook overlooking the covered patio. The adjoining living room exudes elegance with its vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace framed by custom built-ins, and expansive windows that fill the space with natural light and views of the landscaped yard and nearby golf course. The first-floor primary suite is a private retreat, complete with a luxurious en suite showcasing a soaking tub, double vanity, and a glass-enclosed tiled shower, along with a custom wardrobe system. A formal dining room, home office or study, and convenient laundry room complete this level, offering a balance of form and function. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms share a full bath, while a versatile bonus room provides endless possibilities — an additional bedroom, game room, or private workspace. There’s also an unfinished area above the garage, ready to become a fourth bedroom or creative space. Nestled near conservation land and the Cochecho River, this property offers the tranquility of nature without sacrificing convenience. With proximity to top schools, the Cochecho Country Club, and the vibrant downtown Dover scene, 51 Childs Drive embodies the perfect blend of luxury, lifestyle, and location.
