This amazing South Wig Hill Landmark can be yours! Located in the lovely Countryside of the Historic Connecticut River town of Chester. Ely Dickinson built his Homestead here in 1820. Classic chestnut frame and exposed beams on the main level. The current owners have made many upgrades & improvements. The main level consists of a beautiful Living Room with bay window, fireplace and built-ins. The charming Dining Room has built-in display shelves & is the perfect place to entertain your friends and family. The cork floored kitchen has a wonderful breakfast bar and opens to the light and bright Sunroom complete with a gas stove fireplace. From the Sunroom you enter onto a very spacious deck overlooking nature and your expansive yard. The Primary Bedroom Suite is on the second floor and consists of an office, dressing room, walk-in closet and bath. The second Bedroom has an original fireplace and wideboard floors. Two additional Bedrooms, a full bath & pretty landing complete this level. There is also a walkup attic for storage. The property has two driveways, one leads to a barn/garage and the other is on the opposite side of the house where you can access the front porch or the Sunroom. This Historic Homestead is only minutes from town, the Connecticut River, Cedar Lake and Main Street. You will enjoy all the quaint Village Shops and Restaurants that are located here. Midway between Boston and New York, come to Chester and make this your home. You will love it!
