There's so much to love about this south Dover cottage-syle ranch! Beyond how convenient it is to Newington/Portsmouth and Pease Tradeport or downtown Dover, the thoughtful customizations made to this home provide a variety of single-floor flexible living options with an open floor plan. The kitchen highlights include granite counters, tile backsplash, a butler's pantry with custom cabinetry, a custom cherry range hood, and a custom island with breakfast bar seating. A large living room features built-in storage and a coat closet, and the dining room can accommodate a full-sized dining table. The front bedroom is a two-room flexible space that could provide an office, sitting room or sleeping nook in addition to a bedroom. The owner's suite provides an en-suite bath with a new washer & dryer, a low-curb step in shower, vanity with granite counter, and ample storage from two closets plus an amazing walk-in-closet. Fresh paint, custom shelving and shiplap accents throughout make this home modern and move-in-ready! The large basement offers more storage and a workbench ideal for many hobbies. Outside you will find so many lovely additions to the property for outdoor living and activities: a upcycled greenhouse with power, fenced raised garden beds, a shed, a chicken coop, plus “The Grotto” - an intimate firepit area with an upcycled farm pergola for entertaining or just enjoying nature on your own. The oversized 2 car garage was added in 2021, featuring extra deep bays, a workbench area, a walk-up attic for even more storage, and the most amazing covered private patio in the back that you've ever seen! A leased solar system was installed on the garage in 2024 that helps offset electricity costs and sells any excess back to the grid. With a ramped front entry, covered front porch, and one-level living, this home would also make an excellent choice for those thinking about aging in place. It's easy to fall in love with everything this home has to offer!
