About This Home
As of October 2025DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT?
Step into timeless elegance with this stunning 1800s classic New England farmhouse—where historic charm meets modern convenience. NO WORK NEEDED - Thoughtfully renovated and meticulously maintained, this distinctive property stands apart.
Enjoy a brand-new kitchen and bath, ultra-efficient natural gas boiler, Energy Star windows, updated 200-amp electrical and plumbing, new appliances, enhanced insulation, a fully fenced yard and so many other significant recent improvements. The light-filled primary bedroom even features a walk-in closet—a rare find in historic homes!
Nestled on a corner lot just steps from the NH Fish and Game stocked Barbados Pond, you'll love the peaceful setting with easy access to major commuting routes, UNH, and everything Dover has to offer.
Once a working farmhouse, stagecoach stop, and sawmill, this home—known as the Richardson House—has a rich past. Richardson Drive itself was once the property’s timberyard and farmland. Now, that history is beautifully woven into a home updated for modern living.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a turn-key piece of local history. Attic is not included in the square footage. Seller is a licensed real estate agent.
