About this home

In the lovely town of Chester, this house was built in 1860 along with many other antique homes throughout the once shipbuilding city. This home has 3 bedrooms,1 baths, a large kitchen, LR, DR and 2 porches. There is a separate building with a bedroom, kitchen, LR and bath that has been used as a rental. The property is fairly private on 2.35 acres overlooking a pretty pond. It does need some TLC and is being "SOLD AS IS". There is a right of way to a driveway going to two newer homes up the hill. Most of the architecturally built houses in Chester are located on the banks of the Ct River so there are many marinas and lakes, the most famous being Deer Lake. The picturesque downtown has many great shops, restaurants and art museums. There is also the Chester Airport, the famous Goodspeed Opera House, the Essex Steam Train near by, and a large State Forest with many hiking trails. New York City and Boston are only two hours away.
