Step into a home that perfectly balances historic charm, modern updates, and investment potential—all while truly feeling like home. Nestled in a highly walkable area in Dover, this beautifully maintained two-unit property offers the rare opportunity for an owner-occupant investor to enjoy the best of both worlds: comfortable, stylish living and smart financial sense. Not to mention, EASY future expansion.

Set on just over half an acre, the property features a lush, private backyard with mature trees, apple blossoms, and abundant black raspberries—an ideal space for gardening, entertaining, or simply unwinding. A charming potting shed or playhouse with a small deck adds even more character, while the deck off the barn provides the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee or an evening glass of wine in the fresh air.

Inside, the home doesn’t feel like a typical multi-family—it exudes warmth and character, with original Victorian details thoughtfully preserved. Hardwood floors, intricate trim, and built-in features like a china cabinet and butler’s pantry create a welcoming, homey atmosphere. With high ceilings and oversized windows, the space is filled with natural light, giving each unit a bright and airy feel. Unlike many multi-family properties, this one truly feels like a single-family home, making it an ideal option for a buyer who wants to live in a charming, residential space while benefiting from rental income.

The property is already legally recognized as a three-unit, with the barn approved for conversion into an additional dwelling if desired. Whether you choose to finish the barn for added income, keep it as an extension of your own living space, or use it for storage, the possibilities are endless.

Located in the Garrison Elementary School district and within walking distance to Dover Middle and High Schools, coffee shops, restaurants, and local parks, this home offers the perfect blend of suburban tranquility and urban convenience. Sidewalk-lined streets make it easy to stroll into town, and with easy access to Routes 4, 108, and 16, commuting is a breeze. The 1st floor unit is vacant and ready for you to move right into, while the second unit has wonderful tenants in it.

Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer looking for a way to offset your mortgage or an investor seeking a property that will attract high-quality tenants, this home is a rare find. The charm, location, and versatility make it a one-of-a-kind opportunity—don’t miss your chance to call 28 Back River Rd home!
