Nothing has been overlooked in this four-bedroom Cape that offers important updates while maintaining its original charm. The improvements include removal of a wall to open up the kitchen, living, and dining area, and the environmentally friendly kitchen renovation is evident through features like PaperStone countertops, cork flooring, VOC-free paint, and Energy Star appliances. Relax in the warm and inviting living room with its new bay window and pellet stove that helps cut down on heating costs. Other updates include the furnace, roof, fresh paint, and additional insulation to help contribute to increased energy efficiency. There is also an updated bathroom and hot water tank. The designated lower-level room could easily be finished. Enjoy summer evenings in the large, spacious yard. The southern Dover area provides a great commuter location and proximity to all the shops, restaurants, and services of downtown. Come see all this home has to offer!
