Enjoy all that downtown Dover has to offer from unique dining options to boutique shops. This home has been well-maintained inside and out, and features new Life Proof, trail oak vinyl plank flooring, and newer paint throughout. The spacious 3-4 season porch will be your new favorite area to relax, use as a home office space or even a work out room. The partially finished basement offers a large cedar closet for added storage, an office, and a great recreation room with so much potential for additional living or entertainment space.
