This piece of real estate is a recently semi renovated mid-century modern home and located within a South Dover neighborhood, that is within walking distance to Garrison Elementary School. The home was loved and cared for by one family for 60 years. Much of the property has been improved since new ownership in 2019. However, there's still much to make your own!
A bright room with a vaulted ceiling welcomes you as you enter the house. The open concept kitchen was built in 2019, including; walnut lower cabinets complimented with white high gloss upper cabs, Ice Queen HI-MACS solid surface countertops with an 1/8 in. eased edge, a Kraus 30-inch Undermount 16 Gauge Stainless Steel Sink with Kraus 18-inch Stainless Steel Commercial Kitchen Faucet, Samsung 5.8 cu.ft Stainless Steel Slide-In Electric Range, Samsung 24in. Top Control Stainless Steel Dishwasher, Samsung French Door Refrigerators in Stainless Steel and Counter Depth, 30 in. Stainless Steel Wall Mounted Range Hood which vents exterior, Hexagon 2 in. White Porcelain Gloss Mosaic tile back splash, and a wonderfully warm Kickspace Heater under the walnut cabs which provides an extra 14 linear feet of radiant sourced heat.
Sturdy and resilient 2.5 in. wide oak vinyl flooring flows throughout the home, apart from the slate floored entryway and laundry/ utility room and the laminate floored bathroom. Baseboards and window and door trim have been updated throughout the home. Three coats of mud now adorn the living area drywall and the interior has been freshly painted. A deck is found off the rear third bedroom, while two other bedrooms and one bath are found off the hallway.
Though there are original windows in place, the home always feels warm. A Nest thermostat found in the hallway allows convenience for setting the heat temperature inside. The house sits on a slab and there is a carport. The boiler has a vintage of 2008 and was completely tuned up in November of 2019, including a new water heater expansion tank and low water cut off valve. The hot water runs off the boiler and there seems to be an endless supply of it. Two hallway closets and a shed afford plenty of storage for those who enjoy living minimally.
The bathroom is smartly designed from the original owner and is in need to be renovated. Updated electrical wiring has been piped down the hallway and is ready to be pulled for the bathroom reno. The kitchen has been completely rewired with electrical as well. Some plumbing has been moved in the utility room in order to accommodate a stack-able washer and dryer. A utility sink was added to the utility room, as well.
The roof was replaced with a lighter gray architectural shingle in 2019 and much of the fascia boards were replaced in 2020. Burma Jade by Sherwin-Williams is the cooler exterior color chosen for the mid-century modern home. A view off the deck is private and faces the woods in the rear. The front of the home has views of Morningside Park. The home is ready for the next owner to pick up the development and make it their very own home or investment property.
