Discover this waterfront delight in charming Chester, rewarding with year-round views! Completely renovated in 2012 from the ground up (including brand new septic system), this pristine Colonial offers 3 floors of living space and a smart L-shape open floor plan ensuring that you always have a gorgeous view. In addition to some hardworking 1st floor spaces (roomy mudroom, full bath and laundry room), the main living area serves up the ideal layout for dining, cooking and relaxing. The space enjoys loads of windows and natural light, oak HW flooring, white kitchen cabinetry w/ granite counters and marble tile backsplash, tiered island with breakfast bar, and SS appliances including a new gas range -- all with amazing views of Chester Cove.

The primary bedroom includes a walk-in-closet and Jack & Jill bathroom. The lower level provides additional storage & finished space, ideal for a yoga studio, or home gym. Need more to love?
