Beautifully updated, this large, light-filled Colonial was home to NH Gov. Noah Martin, in the mid-1800's. An exceptional property, it’s a true masterpiece, steeped in history and boasting remarkable charm. With a total of 10 rooms, 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths, this home offers ample room for your family, for entertaining, and for working remotely. There are two staircases to the second floor and according to Dover history, the exquisite, spiral staircase in the center of the house is the only one left in Dover. The kitchen, completely remodeled, insulated and expanded in 2022 is equipped with state-of-the-art appliances including a "smarty" refrigerator, granite counters, a breakfast bar for 4 and adjoins a casual dining space which overlooks the private yard and deck. Reminiscent of the period, the formal dining room with fireplace, is adorned with traditional wainscoting in handsome, dark wood and includes a recessed china cupboard. A long list of modern updates includes new wiring and circuit breaker box, a new natural gas, Energy-Star Bradford White hot water boiler, a new 1/2 bath on the first floor, new front, back and side doors, & new flooring on the majority of the first floor rooms. The stunning exterior of the house has been repainted in 2023, and a new fence surrounds the yard and in-ground pool and pool shed w/new metal roof. Great in-town location close to the Children's Museum, the Public Library, new cafes, & the Downeaster train. Showings start immediately.
