Nestled on a generous half-acre lot, this brick home boasts a park-like setting that will take your breath away. This gem is located in downtown Dover, just off The Green, which celebrates the heritage of Delaware. Accessible via S. State Street or a private driveway off W. Water Street, this home offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Step inside and be greeted by a sitting room adorned with a fireplace surrounded by Delft tiles and built-in shelves. A butler's pantry awaits directly off the sitting room. Further down the hall, you'll discover a dining room complete with another fireplace and a back stairway leading to one of the upstairs bedrooms and a sitting room. The cozy kitchen is adjacent to the dining room and boasts yet another fireplace. Towards the rear of the kitchen, you'll find a laundry room with a half-bath. The laundry room leads directly to the former summer kitchen and the original two-room schoolhouse, accessible through a side door entry and stairs leading to one room of the schoolhouse. The entry level of this area could easily be transformed into another living area or a first-floor bedroom with a full bath. Upstairs, two bedrooms in the hall share a full bath, while an in-law suite offers a full bath and a sitting area that could double as an extra bedroom. Both the sitting area and bedroom offer access to the stairwell leading to the dining room. There is also an attic space perfect for storage. Previously owned by a local historian who restored it to its former glory, this unique home offers a window into the past. While the home has only been used as a residence, the current zoning, RG-O, allows for other uses. Please see the attached Dover Planning Department information. The seller has recently replaced the heating system boiler, providing peace of mind for years to come. Don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of history with The Thomas Stevenson House.
