Property Description
Welcome to 1161 Janes Road, a meticulously renovated modern ranch in the heart of Dover! This 3-bedroom, 1 bathroom property has it all! Spacious bedrooms, a large family room with a stunning fire place for a center piece, a huge backyard; the list goes on! Walk into your large, illuminated living room with plenty of natural light. Behind your open serving hatch decked with a brand new slab of quartz, lays a kitchen with no expenses spared. Stainless steel appliances and tasteful tile backsplash line the way to the crown jewel of the home: a huge living room with a working fireplace equipped with an off-shoot laundry room/pantry. The backyard is about a third of an acre, and has a large, detached garage. The driveway is long enough to fit as many cars as needed. With close proximity to Dover's corporate parks and airbase, there's no need to leave the area. Move your belongings in and leave your worries at the door; this house leaves nothing to be desired.
