About This Home

As of September 2020

Come fall in love! Just 3.5 miles from the green in Chester, is this stunning farmhouse built in 1989. A superb country location. The land is split onto both sides of the road providing permanent protection. Across the road from the house is a large, flat field that is perfect for horses. Over 1,300 feet of frontage along the South Branch of the Williams River. On the house side of the road, you will find multiple outbuildings & barns. Sheep & horses are currently at home here. Gardens, sheds, & a car barn with a huge studio above awaits craftspeople, writers, woodworkers, or exercise enthusiasts. Saving the best for last, the home is just stunning. Covered porches for quiet time. Enter through the front door to large foyer & hall. To the left is a formal parlor, & to the right, a large country kitchen with sitting room. The kitchen is every chef's dream from the appliances to the tile work. The dining room has a wall of windows overlooking the gardens & pasture. A mudroom & first-floor bedroom with bath & walk-in closet round out the first floor. Upstairs are three very generous bedrooms & two baths. The custom features throughout the home are fantastic -- tile work, painting, trim detail & more. The full, dry basement has loads of space. There is fiber optic internet, a generator, wood boiler, along with a traditional multi-zone oil boiler. This is a spot to call home for horse people, home business owners, artisans, families or retirees. Wait until you see it for yourself!
