Significant Price Improvement — Now Offered at $749,000! Recently reduced from $849,000, this property represents an outstanding opportunity in today’s market. First Time Offered in Over 50 Years – Grand Victorian Duplex, walking distance to the vibrant Dover downtown. This is a rare chance to own a piece of Dover’s history. This is a historic classic, side-by-side Victorian duplex, lovingly held by the same family for over half a century and now offered to the public for the very first time. Built in 1890 and set on a 4,356 sq ft city lot, this stately 2-unit property offers 3,840 sq. ft. of living space, with 8 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 17 total rooms. From the moment you enter, you’ll appreciate its original Victorian character including gracefully turned staircases, period windows, hand-crafted moldings, and authentic architectural details that speak to its storied past. Each unit provides generous room sizes, tall ceilings, and abundant natural light. The exterior is wood-framed, and the structure retains average condition per city records, but extensive renovation is needed to bring this beauty back to life. Located in Dover’s vibrant core, this property offers walkability to downtown shops, restaurants, the train station, and commuter routes. The property is being sold strictly “as is, as shown.” Buyer to perform all due diligence. Whether you’re an investor, contractor, or preservationist, this is a unique opportunity to restore a landmark property.
