Listing broker remarks

Welcome to 535 Whiting St, a classic Hanover home impeccably maintained by longtime owners and offering something increasingly rare: a turnkey home today with exceptional potential for tomorrow. Set on a huge, flat 0.69-acre lot, this property offers plenty of room to enjoy as-is or explore future possibilities for an addition, garage, or detached ADU. Inside, amazing sunlight, hardwood floors, and a comfortable, functional layout make the home feel so inviting. The first floor features a pretty kitchen with a dining area & access to the back deck, formal dining room (ready to be opened to the kitchen), living room, half bath, and a flexible 4th bedroom that could just as easily serve as a home office, playroom, den, or guest space. Upstairs are three more bedrooms with hardwood floors and a full tiled bath. Outside is where the possibilities really stand out. The cleared, level 30,056-square-foot lot provides an incredible amount of usable yard space whether you envision gardens and outdoor entertaining, expanding the existing home, adding a garage, or investigating the potential for a detached accessory dwelling unit. A full basement, paved driveway with parking for six, town water, natural gas, and a brand-new septic system add to the home's practicality. Lovingly cared for, incredibly versatile, and sitting on a fantastic Hanover lot, 535 Whiting Street is ready for its next chapter.— The Firm
