Homes with a Fireplace for Sale in Dover, NH

Find Dover, NH Homes for Sale with a Fireplace

The count is high here because the housing is old and the city is large. The nineteenth century houses on Garrison Hill and around the centre were built with masonry chimneys serving hearths on more than one floor, and many of those survive. The postwar and later houses toward Dover Point and the Rollinsford line have a single brick faced fireplace in the main room, or a gas unit installed more recently. Working status is the thing to establish. Great Island Realty asks on every showing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these fireplaces usable?

Not always. Original flues in older houses are sometimes capped or relined for a heating appliance, so a mantel in a photograph does not prove a working fireplace.

Does this include woodstoves?

Usually yes. The listing field covers fireplaces, inserts and freestanding stoves together, so the detail page describes the specific unit.

What should be inspected?

Flue lining, chimney crown and pointing, the date of the last sweep, clearances around any stove or insert, and whether the installation was permitted by the city.
