About This Home
A meticulously maintained home in excellent condition — a rare find! Located in Chester’s Vision Lake neighborhood, this immaculate home has been thoughtfully updated in recent years and is completely move-in ready. The single-level floor plan offers comfortable, easy living and features a cozy living area with a charming brick fireplace and wood stove insert. The well-designed kitchen showcases warm alder cabinetry, granite countertops, and newer appliances. The home includes three bedrooms and two beautifully remodeled bathrooms with custom tile showers. Recent upgrades provide peace of mind and modern convenience, including a tankless water heater, durable vinyl plank flooring, newer windows, a life-extending roof treatment, and heat cables along the eaves to help prevent winter ice dams. A clean 2-car attached garage is complemented by a brand-new 2-car carport and pavered driveway, providing ample covered parking and storage. The serene outdoor spaces make this property truly special. The pavered patio is ideal for entertaining and features a new, sturdy gazebo rated for snow. Lush landscaping surrounds the home, with beautiful maple trees, green lawns, and established perennial plantings to create an inviting, park-like setting. Two very large sheds provide exceptional storage and versatility — one with a reinforced floor rated for parking, perfect for a small vehicle, ATVs, or snowmobiles. A small greenhouse tucked behind the rear shed adds charm and function for gardening enthusiasts. Multiple wood storage areas offer added convenience. A solid wood fence encloses most of the property, and a drive-through gate allows secure parking for RVs, boats, and additional toys. Located less than a mile from schools and all Chester services, and just minutes from the meadow and the shores of Lake Almanor, this home offers the perfect balance of comfort, functionality, and location. This is a property where everything has been thoughtfully cared for — and it’s ready for its next owner to enjoy.
