About This Home

Welcome to 1040 William Street! An adorable 3 bed-2 bath home on a quiet side street just off the main business area of Chester. Open kitchen/dining/living room area nicely updated with new flooring and modern paint colors. Two bedrooms and full bath on the main level. Upstairs there's another large bedroom, full bathroom, and a bonus room. Full unfinished basement with walkout to the big backyard. In the evening sit on the front porch (nice composite flooring, no maintenance) and watch the sun go down, and enjoy the sunrise with your morning coffee off the big deck off the kitchen in back. Long backyard opens to woods and the whitetail deer frequently come through. Very well maintained and had been a rental property with a long-term tenant for quite a while. Seller is ready to retire from being a landlord. This home would make a great investment property or it's roomy enough for a growing family. Make this one on your must-see list if you are looking for a nice home reasonably priced.
