This meticulously maintained and charming Colonial cottage overlooks picturesque Jennings pond. Its open water views of the pond are stunning! New granite front steps welcome you to this 1816 clapboard home which has recently been updated. The Kitchen has all modern appliances, including a Wolf convection oven and a Dacor cooktop. The 14x23 Living Room, with its oversize floor to ceiling windows, enjoys the long water views and is flooded with sunlight. A “Napoleon” wood stove, with a blower, has tile surround and is a focal point of the room. The new Marvin glass door leads out to the multi level deck with unobstructed, wide views of the pond, making it a perfect area to entertain and for al fresco dining, or just relaxing next to the gardens. Two bedrooms are on the second floor, one overlooks the quiet pond. The adjacent guest house has a high wood ceiling with beams and shares the impressive water views. Being only a few minutes to historic Chester Village, known for its excellent restaurants, first class shopping, and galleries, makes the location of this cottage and its guest house very special and an ideal retreat. Chester is a popular destination, located half way between Boston and New York.
