This oversized, nearly half-acre lot with double frontage is a short walk to Willand Pond, a 66-acre natural lake stocked with trout and home to bass. It's perfect for kayaking and canoeing, with a shoreline trail and trolley-era history to explore. Built in 1980, which is young by New England standards, this four-bedroom home has the space buyers have been waiting for. Two bedrooms and a full bath on the first floor make single-level living easy, with two more bedrooms upstairs for family or guests. Beautiful hardwood floors carry through the first floor into a kitchen with stainless steel appliances, while updated light fixtures and newer vinyl windows brighten every room. The partially finished lower level, with recessed lighting, is ready for game nights, movie marathons or the playroom every family wants. The other side offers plenty of storage and a washer and dryer. A new heating system, a sturdy roof and a newer build give buyers confidence in the home's mechanicals. Step outside to an oversized deck that's made for summer cookouts and evenings with friends, overlooking a spacious backyard with a playground set for the kids and a couple of sheds for all your outdoor gear. This prime lot has frontage on both Auburn Street and Newton Street to the rear. It sits in Dover's Gateway (G) zone, an ideal zone that offers incredible flexibility for future subdivisions. Buyer to verify with the City of Dover. The location is hard to beat. Route 16 is about 3 minutes away for an easy commute to Portsmouth and beyond, and Shaw's, the Central Ave shops and Wentworth-Douglass Hospital are all within a few minutes. Downtown Dover's restaurants, riverfront and Amtrak station are about 7 minutes from the door.
