About This Home
As of November 2024Graciously restored 1910 center hall colonial in the Gateway of the Hilltowns. The Haley house is located in the charming village of Chester very close to local shopping, restaurants and entertainment with the Chester Theatre Company right next door! The home has deep heritage in town with ties to Hamilton Emery Mill being built for its GM at the time, Thomas Haley. Recent improvements include a new kitchen, bathroom, heating system, whole house insulation, new windows and EV Charging Station for starters. Whether inside near the gas stove or outside on one of the covered porches, the country calm and fresh air will sooth your soul. You might just hear the West Branch of the Westfield River too which is within sight from your back yard. Work from home? High Speed Internet available.
