    What's special

    New roof will be installed prior to closing! Historic Charm Meets Modern Comfort in Chester! Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of Chester’s history—part of this home is believed to be one of the very first stone structures in town, dating back to the early 1800s. Set on over half an acre (.6) with woods in the back, this 4-bedroom home offers the perfect blend of historic character and modern updates. The open floor plan features a cozy fireplace and flows seamlessly to an expansive 1,100 sq ft deck—freshly painted and ideal for entertaining. Inside the stone portion of the home, you’ll find another wood-burning fireplace and a versatile space that could serve as a bedroom or office, complete with its own private entrance. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms include a primary suite with walkout access to a covered deck and yet another fireplace for added charm. Newer terrazzo floors on the main level are not only stunning but designed to last a lifetime. A full walkout basement provides plenty of storage or potential for additional living space. This property truly offers the feel of country living right in the heart of town. Schedule your showing today and experience all the character and possibilities this one-of-a-kind home has to offer. Seller is offering a $5,000 credit in lieu of deck repairs, giving buyers the flexibility to make updates their way.
