About This Home

As of August 2019

Recently painted and restored hardwood floors, you do not want to miss the beauty of this home. Built in 1927, she exudes all the olde world charm with modern conveniences. Welcome to 290 Kings Hwy, in the beautiful Silver Lake area! Close to the new Aldi's and Starbucks but tucked away with park and lake views. Imagine relaxing with your coffee in the early morning on your front screened in porch. The perfect place to take in the breeze without the bugs! When you head inside,the curved wooden staircase and stained glass windows greet you in the foyer. 12' ceilings on the first floor, built in bookshelves and cabinets, original hardwood floors, double pocket doors, crown moulding, rooms for days, and a secret third floor (with extra square footage not already included!) are some of the exquisite features of this home. The first floor has a front room (currently being used as a billiards room), dining room, living room (or could be a bedroom as it has a door - this has been freshly painted a light gray), kitchen with breakfast area (freshly painted a light gray and new cabinet knobs!), laundry room and full bath. Upstairs on the second floor you will find three bedrooms with hardwood floors (recently restored), and a full bathroom. Head all the way up to two finished rooms on the third floor. Use it for storage, craft s, play, etc. So many possibilities! The home has an unfinished basement, fenced-in backyard with access to the park, wooden deck, and detached garage. Enjoy Silver Lake Park, literally steps from your home, or the lake only a short walk away. If you are looking to take a step back into time, this traditional Olde Dover home is ready for new owners. Detached garage is sold as-is. 1 year home warranty from America's Preferred Home Warranty, included!
