Welcome to “The Gardens on Silver” where historic charm meets luxury elegance. Built in 1890 for prominent industrial business owner Frank B. Williams, this home reflects the affluence and style of Dover’s turn-of-the-century elite. Outside, you will find yourself enveloped by the home’s showpiece; a luxury European inspired garden and pool escape that instantly evokes a feeling of peace and tranquility. The estate’s original grandeur has been lovingly restored and boasts the original grand staircase, six fireplaces, beamed ceilings, leaded transom windows and mahogany doors and built-ins. Modern, luxury finishes have been artfully entwined throughout the home’s kitchen and outdoor entertaining design to ensure an elevated experience. Two detached garages allow for ample vehicle storage space. Dover’s crown jewel awaits its next steward.
