The Perfect Entry to Dover: 68 Claybrook Road

The Story: For many first-time buyers, Dover represents the ultimate goal—renowned for its privacy, rural charm, and the #1 ranked school district in Massachusetts. 68 Claybrook Road provided our clients with the rare opportunity to secure a 4-bedroom, 3-bath Colonial on a sprawling 1.33-acre lot for under $1.5M.

Representing the buyers in this $1,335,000 transaction, we focused on the long-term potential of the home. With 2,234 SF of living space, including a fireplaced living room and an oversized screened porch, the property offered the perfect balance of immediate comfort and future equity-building opportunities.

The Strategy:

• Education-First Approach: For first-time buyers, the process can be daunting. We provided deep-dive insights into Dover’s unique land-use bylaws and private septic systems, ensuring our clients felt like experts before they signed.

• Valuation Strategy: We analyzed recent sales on Claybrook Road and surrounding streets to ensure our clients’ offer was competitive yet disciplined. In a town where inventory is notoriously tight, our local reputation helped streamline the negotiation process.

• Future Visioning: We helped our clients see past the current finishes to the "bones" of the house, identifying how simple cosmetic updates and the large lot would support a significant value increase over time.

The Outcome: By securing 68 Claybrook Road, our clients didn't just buy a house; they gained a foothold in one of the state's most prestigious zip codes. This sale illustrates our commitment to the "next generation" of Dover residents and our ability to find value at every price point in the luxury market.
