About This Home

As of August 2024

Welcome to 56 Hough Street, a slice of Dover’s history filled with storybook charm. Nestled within mature perennial gardens and shaded by a canopy of trees, this 1910 home exudes timeless character and allure. Original stained-glass windows dance with color throughout the day as the sunlight filters through. A beautifully crafted newel post beckons you to ascend the broad staircase, while the warm patina of hardwood floors whisper tales of generations past. Natural sunlight pours through arched windows, illuminating the spacious rooms in a warm glow. Imagine enjoying lazy mornings in the sunroom, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the scent of blooming flowers just outside. Perfect for creating culinary delights, the kitchen is accented with stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, a functional center island and ample storage. Harmonizing old-world elegance with contemporary convenience, 56 Hough Street offers a haven that embodies the best of Dover living. Vibrant restaurants, charming retail shops, and cultural attractions await just a short stroll away or retreat to the privacy of your cozy home. Start your new chapter in this unique property, where lifestyle and legacy converge beautifully. Showings begin at open house, Saturday 7/27 10AM-12PM & Sunday 11AM-1PM.
