This beautiful 4BR/3BA Victorian home in the heart of Olde Dover showcases the perfect balance of historic charm blended thoughtfully with modern conveniences. The complete ownership history is known dating back to 1913 when Charles Scott purchased the land and began construction on this 2,500 plus square foot home which includes a private driveway with off-street parking, a detached one-car garage, and a storage shed. Greet your guests on the stunning and spacious wrap around porch which was fully renovated in 2010 and includes a screened side porch with direct access to the dining room. The foyer opens to the living room featuring the original fireplace which has been converted to natural gas, grand 9-foot ceilings, and original hardwood flooring that extends into the dining room with elegant cove lighting. The eat-in kitchen was fully remodeled in 2013 and includes rich maple cabinets with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, island with breakfast bar, tile backsplash, a gas range, and charming built-ins that flank the pantry closet. The main floor bedroom is currently utilized as a library and has direct access to a full bathroom across the hall. Elegant stained-glass windows provide natural light on the staircase and second floor landing which features a stately original banister and railing. The owner's suite has been tastefully designed for a modern lifestyle. A surprisingly large full private bathroom includes a dressing area, dual sinks, shower stall, and jacuzzi tub. A well-appointed walk-in closet is accessed in the hall adjacent to the bedroom. Two guest bedrooms share access to the third full bathroom with an original cast iron claw foot tub and built-in storage/medicine cabinet. An additional staircase leads to the third floor walk-up attic which provides over 600 square feet of accessible storage space. Other features of this must see property include: dual zone HVAC systems (replaced in 2024 and 2020), affordable natural gas heating, replacement windows (2017-18), bathroom and plumbing updates, fenced back yard, mature landscaping with front exterior lighting, and more. Please see additional documentation available for a full description of all renovations and improvements.
