Welcome to the Waterfall House, an iconic custom home perched above the scenic Pattaconk Brook in the heart of historic Chester Village. Overlooking a picturesque 15-foot waterfall and offering sweeping views of the serene Jennings Pond from every room, this home is a masterpiece.

Outdoor spaces are designed for enjoyment, with multi-level decks and terraces framed by new bronze fencing, perfect for gatherings, and a spacious riverside meadow. The property is surrounded by lush landscaping featuring ornamental trees, bushes, and perennials. Additional highlights include a separate carriage house with a guest suite, state-of-the-art mechanicals, a whole-house generator, and easy access to major commuting routes and Amtrak.
