DOVER — A renovated ranch-style home located at 60 Watson Drive in Dover’s Salem Village neighborhood recently sold for $500,000, according to property records. The home was listed for $479,999 and closed on May 8, 2026.
Built in 1945, the single-family residence features two bedrooms and two full bathrooms on a level 6,098-square-foot lot. The property underwent significant renovations in 2025, including a new roof, new siding, updated flooring, and a remodeled kitchen with stainless steel appliances.
The home’s main level offers single-floor living, while a finished walkout basement adds additional flexible space. The lower level includes a full bathroom and rooms suitable for a home office, recreation area, fitness room, or guest accommodations.
Outdoor improvements include a newer deck and a fully fenced backyard, providing space for entertaining, gardening, or pets. The property is also equipped with central air conditioning, forced hot air heating, public utilities, and fiber-optic availability.
Located in the desirable Salem Village section of Dover, the home offers convenient access to major highways, public transportation, shopping centers, restaurants, and local schools. Its combination of modern updates and traditional ranch-style design helped attract buyers in a competitive Morris County housing market.
The sale represents a substantial increase from the property’s previous recorded sale of $221,900 in 2008. The home was under contract within weeks of being listed in March 2026, demonstrating continued demand for move-in-ready homes in Dover and surrounding communities.
