About This Home

As of November 2020

Contractors and ambitious do-it-yourselfers: This is definitely worth a look! This once grand home and B&B has lacked maintenance and attention for about 10 years and needs your love and sweat equity. It was completely renovated about 30 years ago, so the bones are good - electric and mechanicals are up to code. It will need lots of cosmetic work and some basic plumbing repairs. The 4 bedrooms include a rather large suite upstairs that could be used for an owners quarters if you want to do the B&B. The yard, with some cutting could come back to the "old neighborhood ball field" again. This project will be well worth the investment. Walking distance to downtown Chester. Come and take a look. Please call Gail Beardmore for an appointment. 802-975-0338
