About this home
A rare opportunity to own one of Dover’s most distinctive estate properties. Tucked away at the end of a long, tree-lined drive, 233 Walker Road is a stately 1936 Georgian residence situated on approximately 3.5 private acres overlooking Silver Lake. Rich in architectural character and craftsmanship, this remarkable home offers a combination of history, privacy, space and waterfront scenery that is nearly impossible to duplicate in the heart of Dover.
This is a true brick residence, not simply a brick façade, and the quality of construction is evident throughout. Original plaster walls, substantial solid wood doors, brass hardware, detailed moldings and exceptional wood paneling reflect a level of craftsmanship rarely found today. The grand center hall sets the tone with its impressive staircase, high ceilings and historic Zuber scenic wallpaper depicting classic American landscapes and landmarksGenerously sized rooms and large windows provide abundant natural light and frame views of the surrounding grounds and Silver Lake. The formal living and dining rooms offer elegant entertaining space, while the richly paneled den or library creates a warm and inviting retreat with built-in cabinetry and fireplace.
The updated kitchen features granite countertops, dual ovens and a butler’s pantry, with an adjoining breakfast area and access to the screened porch overlooking the property. Multiple fireplaces throughout the home add to its character and sense of history.
The upper levels provide six spacious bedrooms and four full baths, including a primary suite with its own fireplace. Additional rooms above the three-car garage offer flexibility for storage, hobbies, office space or other uses.The finished lower level continues the home’s tradition of entertaining with a dramatic brick fireplace, knotty-pine paneling and a full wet bar.
Outside, mature trees, established landscaping and expansive grounds create a private estate setting seldom found within the city. A raised brick patio provides a beautiful place to relax or entertain while enjoying views of Silver Lake.
233 Walker Road is more than a home—it is a distinctive piece of Dover history, combining enduring construction, architectural detail and an extraordinary setting in one truly unique property...
