About This Home

As of March 2025

Nestled in a highly walkable Dover location, this property offers the perfect blend of charm, versatility, and investment potential—making it an ideal owner-occupied opportunity. Unlike many multi-families, this home feels like a true single-family residence, on a gorgeous lot with beautifully preserved Victorian details, hardwood floors, high ceilings, and oversized windows that fill the space with natural light. Set on over half an acre, the lush backyard features apple trees, black raspberries, and a potting shed, giving the owner occupant space to enjoy the outdoors without feeling like an apartment. A spacious barn with exposed beams and original stall windows adds even more potential—it is already legally recognized as a third unit by the city, offering an incredible opportunity to expand your investment by converting it into additional living space. Currently configured as a two-unit home, each updated apartment features two bedrooms and one bathroom, making it an excellent setup for an owner-occupant looking to offset their mortgage with rental income. The home could also be easily converted back to a single-family with minimal effort. Recent updates include a new main house roof (3 years ago) and a completely redone barn roof this past May, ensuring peace of mind for the next owner. Located in the Garrison Elementary School district, just a short walk to Dover Middle and High Schools. Unit 1 is vacant and ready to occupy immediately!
