About 56 S New St

This is your chance to be part of Downtown Dovers Revitalization. This home was recently updated but will need a little work to get it back but is well worth the value. So much happening around this home. New homes going up across the street. A new parking garage and commercial space just down the block. Offering newer windows and vinyl siding. The bathroom has also been recently updated as has the flooring thought the home. A small basement houses the high efficiency natural gas furnace. It won't take much to get this one up and running.
