About This Home

As of May 2016

Located in the lovely Connecticut River town of Chester, known for its fine restaurants, theaters, Art galleries, Artisan shops and the famous Chester/Hadlyme Ferry, this much admired historic center chimney Colonial c1790 sits majestically on 3 acres overlooking Jennings Pond. Large, light-filled rooms feature high ceilings, original wide board chestnut floors, fireplaces and a welcoming country kitchen with walk-in pantry. A South facing glass sun-porch is a three season delight. The red post and beam barn was once a stagecoach stop. This is an important historic home lovingly cared for by generations of owners.
