About This Home

As of June 2019

This quintessential 1920s Craftsman style cottage, complete with wrap around porch, sits on a quiet country road. Many custom features including soapstone counters in kitchen and bath, wood stove with tile fireplace, first floor bedroom, full bath with jetted tub and a stained glass transom window, and a den/family room on the main floor. The upper level hosts a master bedroom with large walk-in closet, full bath with claw foot tub, an additional bedroom and studio with skylight. Set on 1.5 acres of land just a short distance from downtown Chester, this home features an in ground pool, outdoor shower, one car garage and kayak rack. This property was built as a weekend home and was among the first homes in the area to have electricity (original generator housing is now root cellar) and legend say that a half-mile long hose pumped water from a nearby pond to fill the pool.
Whether relaxing on the pool's deck, napping on the front porch or curled up by the fireplace, this home will become one's private sanctuary.
