About This Home

As of June 2025

Nestled in the heart of old Dover near the intersection of Springdale, Farm, Pegan Lane and Main Street, this home is set back from the road and is both large and charming.

It is close to the town center and to Dover's #1 rated schools, and is just minutes to Wellesley and Natick for shopping and commuter rail service to Boston. This 4 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath colonial is in move-in condition, and has the amenities desired by today's buyers: a large kitchen with adjoining family room; a first floor office; back stairs to a game room; spacious master with gas fireplace and gorgeous bath completely remodeled in 2015; lower level carpeted recreation area; outside deck for relaxing and entertaining; lots of closets, and plenty of storage. This is a home to love.
