Property description
Welcome to 497 Main St in the heart of Dover! This is a cozy, and quaint home built in 1900, that has been totally remodeled! This home is conveniently located between Smyrna and Dover. And NO HOA!!! Which means, no restrictions! You can easily park a boat or a camper in the extended driveway! You will love the covered front porch, and the semi wrap around deck. The backyard has a large fenced in lot with a large shed. There is plenty of space for a garden, playground equipment, or a fire pit. Once you enter the front door, the spacious family room is to your left, followed by the formal dining room. The kitchen definitely has a country feel, with gas cooking, and an ample amount of cabinetry. The owners added a half bath, and a large laundry room, with additional storage space for all of your paper products, and canned goods! Upstairs has a primary bedroom with a walk-in closet, full bathroom, and a bonus room (currently being utilized as a third bedroom). You could turn this room into a office, nursery, second walk in closet, sitting area, yoga room, glam room, or so much more! There is also a second bedroom, and full bathroom. The walk up (floored) attic is accessible from the second floor. There is tons of storage space in the attic! The full unfinished basement has plenty of storage space as well! A brand new A/C and HVAC was installed in 2016! Not only is this home adorable, but you will be greeted with a warm welcome! If you are looking for a home that is affordable, with no restrictions, and no HOA, then this is it! Schedule your tour today!
