Immaculate 4-Bedroom Colonial Oasis in Dover Meadows – Your Dream Home Awaits!

Welcome to this stunning 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath Colonial-style home nestled in the sought-after Dover Meadows community of Dover, Delaware. Perfectly situated on a spacious half-acre lot, this beautifully maintained property offers timeless elegance, modern upgrades, and a private backyard retreat designed for both relaxation and entertainment.

Step inside to find gleaming engineered hardwood floors and a neutral design palette throughout. The welcoming foyer leads to a private library or office through French doors on one side and a formal dining room on the other. A spacious formal living room sits adjacent, offering the perfect layout for entertaining or quiet evenings at home.

At the heart of the home lies a large gourmet kitchen featuring granite countertops, gas range, updated appliances, recessed and pendant lighting, an abundance of cabinet space, a walk-in pantry, and a bright breakfast area. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the cozy den with a fireplace, ceiling fan, and sliding glass doors opening to the back patio.

Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, featuring hardwood floors, a tray ceiling, ceiling fan, walk-in closet with custom built-ins, and a completely updated spa-like ensuite bathroom. Indulge in the soaking tub with tile surround and a sunlit window, step into the tiled shower with a bench, and enjoy double vanities, a private water closet, and designer tile flooring. Three additional spacious bedrooms and a full bath complete the upper level.

The fully fenced backyard is your private sanctuary: a beautifully designed patio steps down to a large pool deck surrounding a pristine in-ground pool with a rock waterfall, diving board, and tiki hut. Mature privacy trees, manicured landscaping, a gardening shed, and hardwired landscape lighting create a peaceful, resort-style setting.

New HVAC system (2025)

New deck (2024)
