About this home
3111 Leipsic Road, a private wooded retreat with rare character, craftsmanship, and extraordinary potential. This property needs total renovation and systems replacement due to significant water damage from a pipe break in the attic, with the basement experiencing the most impact. A hidden oasis tucked away on a beautifully wooded 2.2-acre lot in Dover. This 4,202-square-foot Amish-built Tudor home offers a rare opportunity for buyers with vision to restore a truly distinctive property filled with timeless architecture, natural light, original hardwood floors, bay windows, stone fireplaces, and undeniable craftsmanship throughout. From the welcoming foyer, the home opens to gracious formal and informal living spaces designed for both comfort and character. The formal dining room sits to one side, while the inviting living room features a dramatic stone fireplace and spiral staircase leading to a loft. A spacious den, separate office, unique blue tile powder room, family room with a second stone fireplace, and two enclosed rear porches with large windows and skylights add to the home’s remarkable charm and flexibility. The eat-in kitchen, butler’s pantry and powder room are central to the main level rooms. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms provide excellent space, including a primary suite with a sitting room, walk-in closet, and full bathroom. One additional bedroom also includes a sitting room and private full bathroom, while two more bedrooms share a hall bath near a convenient laundry closet with a full-size washer and dryer. The lower level offers additional possibilities, with existing features that include a kitchenette, full bathroom, laundry room, enclosed porch with a fireplace, hot tub, dedicated shower stall, and direct access to the attached two-car garage. A detached three-car garage provides outstanding space for vehicles, equipment, storage, hobbies, or workshop use. The home is ready to be reimagined, making this an ideal project for an investor, renovator, or buyer seeking a special property to bring back to life. With its private setting, substantial square footage, rare architectural style, attached and detached garage space, and endless potential, 3111 Leipsic Road is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to create something truly exceptional. Bring your ideas, your contractor, and your imagination, this hidden Dover retreat is ready for its next chapter. Cash or rehab financing only. Final sale is subject to Court of Chancery approval.
