Rich in history and character, this grand old lady is ready for her next chapter. Originally built in the 1920s and once considered one of the finest homes in Dover, this spacious three bedroom, one bathroom residence sits proudly on a generous 1,606m² block directly across the road from the waterfront and public park. A rare opportunity to restore a piece of local heritage or reimagine the site entirely, with potential to build a new home or explore subdivision options (STCA).
The home is bursting with original features, including elegant timber sash windows, ornate ceiling roses, decorative cornices, timber skirtings, high ceilings and a formal dining room. The enormous loungeroom is warmed by wood heating and offers a true sense of space and charm. A separate attached storage room adds to the home’s practicality, perfect for future renovation plans or creative conversion into a home office or studio.
While the property requires a full renovation, including roof replacement, wiring, plumbing, and floor repairs. The rewards for those willing to roll up their sleeves will be substantial. The bathroom has the original pink basin, the original Huon Pine bath has been removed, and a shower is in the laundry.
Stepping outside, the block offers a mostly level layout with open space at the front and rear. Once glorious cottage gardens lined the pathway and would be a delight to bring back to life, framing the grand entry stairs onto the porch with stained glass windows. An old timber shed adds rustic appeal and further hints at the rich stories this home has to tell.
Perfectly located, you can take a leisurely walk into the heart of Dover or enjoy a short drive to access local amenities. The property is positioned just steps from the peaceful park and Dover’s foreshore walking track. Imagine waking up each morning to the gentle glisten of the water and the sight of boats bobbing in the harbour, a truly special coastal lifestyle.

One of Dover’s unique highlights is the ability to purchase fresh fish straight from the local wharf, perfect for those who love seafood and the relaxed Tasmanian lifestyle.
Whether you’re looking to restore a piece of local history, design your dream waterfront home, or explore a potential development opportunity, this property has the position, space, and story to inspire.
