About This Home
As of June 2023$100,000 PRICE REDUCTION! This beautiful 5-bedroom, recently updated home in desirable Dover Shores beckons a family for years of making memories and entertaining. Sitting on an approximately 9,000 sq. ft. lot, the home is located in the heart of this family-friendly neighborhood and within walking distance of the award-winning Mariner’s Elementary School. The remodeled, traditional two-story, 2,752 sq. ft. home welcomes visitors with a spacious driveway, a Dutch door, and upon entering, a living room with a fireplace and ample windows that offer lots of light and views of the upgraded backyard. With plenty of room to entertain inside and out, the first level features luxurious hardwood floors throughout, as well as a remodeled kitchen with a marble waterfall island with seating for three, a farmhouse sink, a sizable pantry, and Viking stainless steel appliances. A dining area with a fireplace is adjacent to the kitchen and opens to the spacious backyard perfect for entertaining. The backyard oasis includes a freestanding California room, the ultimate outdoor living space, with a fireplace, built-in BBQ, refrigerator, overhead Infratech electric heaters, a fan, and TV. Grassy areas for games and a new sparkling pool and Jacuzzi complete this entertainer’s dream. The downstairs also has three spacious bedrooms, including one ensuite, perfect for overnight guests, an office, or a home gym. There is also an elegant bathroom complete with a marble countertop, dual sinks, and a freestanding claw foot tub. An additional guest bathroom and separate laundry room are also located off the kitchen.
