About This Home
3816 Dover is an iconic 1928 Colonial and one of the original homes in Hope Valley. This home represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of the neighborhood's rich architectural history. Designed by the distinguished firm of George Watts Carr, Architects, the home showcases classic Colonial features including a two-story, side-gabled brick and weatherboard facade, gabled wall dormers, and a charming shed-roof front porch. A full renovation in 2001 by Leon Meyer seamlessly blended modern upgrades with historical character, including a new kitchen, updated baths, electrical and plumbing systems, a new roof, and more. A thoughtfully designed addition introduced a family room(or in-law suite), four-season room with a stunning stone fireplace, two additional bedrooms, and three full baths. This renovation enhanced livability while preserving elegance. In addition, in 2023, a 550 square foot third floor bonus room was added. With 5,845 square feet of refined yet comfortable living space, this home is built with top-quality materials and craftsmanship throughout. Set on one of the most desirable lots in Hope Valley, the sweeping front lawn offers picturesque views of the Hope Valley Country Club. A unique architectural feature includes a front-gabled wing joined by a hyphen at the north end, which was expanded in 2000 with a sunroom beneath the original structure, creating a sophisticated two-story space that complements the home's historic charm.
This is more than a home, it is a piece of Hope Valley's history.
