Overview
Welcome to one of the largest and most thoughtfully designed homes in the Velvet Rocks community. This beautifully updated residence offers the perfect blend of spaciousness, comfort, and convenience - tucked away on the last street in the neighborhood, along the edge of the woods. It’s a quiet location, but minutes to downtown Hanover and away from the everday neighborhood traffic.
Step inside to an open-concept living area with high ceilings and abundant natural light. The layout is ideal for both entertaining and everyday living—spacious enough to host a group, yet cozy and functional in all the right places.
The beautifully renovated kitchen blends style and functionality with quartz countertops, plenty of cabinetry, a built-in coffee station, and a central island that’s ideal for congregating around and additional prep space. Enjoy casual meals at the breakfast nook just off the kitchen, while the spacious dining area is perfect for more formal occasions and group gatherings, easily accommodating a full-sized table— ideal for holidays and special celebrations. If dining al fresco is appealing, a backyard stone patio offers the perfect outdoor space—ideal for morning coffee or soaking up the afternoon sun.
Everyday living is made easier with direct access from the two-car garage into a practical mudroom - great for keeping coats, shoes, and gear out of sight. The main level also includes a spacious home office with built-in bookshelves, a guest powder room, a living area featuring a gas fireplace, and a mini split system to keep things cool during the warmer months. Adding even more flexibility and ease, the main level primary suite with its tall ceilings, a oversized bathroom featuring a double vanity and custom tile shower, and a walk-in closet, is certainly one of the desired areas of the home.
Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms, each with great closet space and plenty of natural light. A full bath with soaking tub serves the second level, along with a versatile landing area that serves well for a second office or play space. Light, wood floors flow throughout, enhancing the warmth and inviting nature of the home.
The fully finished lower level is a true bonus—designed with flexibility in mind. This expansive space includes a ¾ bath and laundry area. Perfect for recreation, a home gym, or even additional guest quarters. Windows on the south-facing side bring in light, giving this level an above-grade feel. This is a rare opportunity to own a Velvet Rocks home with a fully finished basement. In addition, a large unfinished utility and storage area with bulkhead access offers workshop space and all the room you need for storage.

The Property
There’s a lot to love about this Hanover location. This particular unit enjoys one of the best spots in the Velvet Rocks community, offering low-maintenance living and a large, level backyard perfect for outdoor play and relaxation. Tucked along the west side of the home, a private stone patio provides the ideal setting for grilling and dining, with the lawn and edge of the forest providing the backdrop.
Located at the end of the last road in the association, this property enjoys a peaceful, low-traffic setting with only two neighboring homes nearby. In the warmer months, mature landscaping comes to life, nicely framing the house.
For nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, the location couldn't be better. Step outside your front door and within 350 feet access the trailhead to the 113-acre Greensboro Ridge Nature Area, part of the Mink Brook watershed. This protected forest corridor stretches from Greensboro to Trescott Roads and offers a scenic, hour-long loop trail. The network also connects to nearby neighborhood trails and links to the Appalachian Trail from Velvet Rocks.
And if convenience is key, you’ll appreciate being just two miles from downtown Hanover, Dartmouth College, and Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. Whether you're driving, biking, or walking, it's an easy trip to restaurants, shops, and all the activities the area has to offer.
