This Dover home sits high above the Charles River and takes full advantage of the views from a living room, sunroom, bedroom and outdoor rear decks.
While the 1953 clapboard home has a blocky-looking exterior, the home's interior was completely renovated from 2008-2010 with a redone foyer and kitchen, new windows, sliding glass doors and insulation, and upgraded electric and plumbing.
The highlight of the home is a renovated vaulted living room with beams, a picture window on one side and glass sliding doors out to a large deck that overlooks the river. Another glass slider leads out to a koi pond and fountain fashioned out of an in-ground gunite swimming pool.
The open kitchen/dining area has granite counters and an island and it leads out to an enclosed sunroom with great Charles River views over a private, rural area of the waterway.
The renovations have an artistic flair, with contemporary light fixtures throughout the house. The living room wood fireplace has been redone with decorative tile. The house's bathrooms are all updated with marble floors, vanities, showers and vessel sinks — and one half bath even has an alabaster vanity.
The master bedroom suite is on the first floor and offers a bedroom with hardwood floors, a walk-in closet and a light green and white marble spa-style bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower.
There are two additional good-sized hardwood-floored bedrooms on the second floor. One has glass sliders out to a large rear deck overlooking the Charles, and the other has a three-part window. Each has a remodeled marble bathroom nearby. A laundry room off the hallway has a full-size Whirlpool washer and dryer.
The current owners had a new 430-foot artesian well drilled and installed a new water holding tank within the past few years. They've also recently added a water-softening system and new septic tank.
The home's basement has a semi-finished space ideal for a family room or home theater, a connection to an attached two-car garage and an unfinished area for storage that has an updated oil-heating system. There is no central air conditioning.
The surrounding 1 1⁄2 acre lot has been extensively landscaped, and it descends down through a wooded area to the river, where you can tie up a canoe.
