About This Home
As of May 2025Major Price Improvement!
Welcome to 61 Acorn Lane, a charming and spacious residence nestled in the heart of Dover, DE. This beautifully maintained home offers the perfect combination of comfort, style, and versatility. Recently updated with new flooring and solid oak doors, the property features a bright and airy sunroom and a versatile rec room, providing ample space for relaxation and entertainment.
With 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bath, this home boasts unique amenities, including an outdoor shower and sink and an extra-large garage perfect for a mechanic’s workshop, a personal retreat, or even a play space for kids. The backyard is an outdoor oasis, complete with a **12x18 fenced kennel, a swimming pool, and a beautiful pergola, making it ideal for gatherings or tranquil evenings under the stars.
A standout feature of this property is the separate building, formerly a licensed beauty shop. Fully equipped with two sinks, a refrigerator, cabinets, a bedroom, and a full bath, this space offers endless possibilities. With the addition of a stove, it could easily transform into an in-law suite or a private apartment for an older child. The property’s beauty shop license is transferrable, or the new owner can use the space for a variety of other businesses based on their needs. Please do not bother Dog in Kennel.
Outside, the private, fenced backyard is perfect for outdoor activities, gardening, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet. Situated in a quiet, friendly neighborhood, this home is just minutes from local schools, shopping, dining, and Dover's top attractions.
With easy access to major highways, commuting is convenient, whether you're heading to work or exploring the best Delaware has to offer. Don’t miss the opportunity to make 61 Acorn Lane your new home!
Bonus: The beauty salon equipment, products, and business are available for purchase. The property’s beauty shop license is transferrable, or the new owner can use the space for a variety of other businesses based on their needs. If the new owner would like to run a different business not listed in the attached forms, they would need to apply for a Home Occupation approval with our office Kent County Levy Court.
