Distinguished colonial in Hanover's Four Corners, rich in history and character. Once owned by noted 18th-century shipbuilder Nathaniel Sylvester, this home blends architectural detail with high-end enhancements. Set on over an acre near the North River. 5 beds, 2.5 baths, and a layout well suited to both everyday living and entertaining. A major redesign of the second floor in 2022 included a fully reimagined master suite with a renovated bath & custom closets. Period details include original moldings, wainscoting, built-ins, and four fireplaces, offering a deep sense of craftsmanship. The private office, known as "the ship room," was recently renovated and is ideal for remote work or study. Other highlights include an impressive formal dining room, front porch, billiard room, and pool/patio. A signature piece of Hanover history, thoughtfully updated for the modern lifestyle. See for yourself at the open house Friday 6/20 4 pm - 6 pm.
