17 Old Stage Rd Dover, NH 03820

What makes 17 Old Stage Road truly special begins right out back. Barbadoes Pond borders the property, offering a peaceful 16-acre natural retreat that feels like an extension of your own backyard. Enjoy year-round outdoor living-spring fishing for brook and rainbow trout, summer days spent kayaking, canoeing, walking trails, and picnicking, vibrant fall foliage, and winter fun with snowshoeing, sledding, or even a pick-up hockey game. Step back to your own private sanctuary. The flat backyard is ready for gardening, with established asparagus beds, raspberry canes, and blueberry bushes already in place. Goldenrod and milkweed attract butterflies throughout the season, creating a serene and ever-changing landscape. Ideally located on a corner lot adjacent to a neighborhood setting, this home offers both privacy and convenience-just minutes to Route 9, 4 miles to downtown Dover, 20 minutes to downtown Portsmouth, and an easy drive to the White Mountains. This charming Cape offers the ease of first-floor living filled with natural light. A welcoming 3-season porch leads into an open, eat-in kitchen featuring a center island and granite countertops. The bright living room showcases a bay window and newly refinished hardwood floors. The spacious main bedroom and beautifully remodeled full bath complete the first floor. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms with dormers and built-ins. The semi-finished lower level provides flexible space for a family room, gym, or office, along with a laundry area, workshop, and ample storage. An oversized two-car garage offers plenty of room for vehicles and outdoor gear, including kayaks and canoes. An automatic whole-house generator adds peace of mind. Coming Soon! Showings begin April 30, with Open Houses scheduled for May 2 from 10-12 and May 3 from 11-1.
