Property details

About 20 Whittier St

The main home features a spacious 3-bedroom, 1-bath layout, filled with natural light and warm character. The kitchen has been recently updated with brand new stainless steel appliances, adding a modern touch to this inviting space. Above the attached 2-car garage sits a separate 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment, ideal for guests, extended family, or steady income via platforms like Furnish Finder. Currently configured as an accessory unit, there's potential to convert to a legal 2-unit with town approval—or expand the current unit into the garage for even greater income flexibility. Set on a generous, level lot, the spacious backyard offers room to relax, garden, entertain, or explore future possibilities. A sun-filled 3-season porch, coin-op laundry, and ample off-street parking round out the lifestyle ease of this property. Enjoy the best of Dover living with sidewalk access to downtown, where coffee shops, restaurants, and local shopping are just minutes away. Commuters will appreciate proximity to the Amtrak station, C&J bus stop, UNH Durham, and Portsmouth. Whether you're seeking flexible multi-generational living, rental income, or a home with space to grow—this is a property full of potential and charm. Delayed showings until the Open House on Friday 5pm to 7pm and Saturday 10am to 1pm.
