Adorable cape located a short walk from Cedar Lake and minutes to the Cockaponset State Forest offering swimming, hiking, and kayaking/canoeing. Open floor plan on the main level includes the kitchen and dining area, as well as a center staircase looking into the living room. Two good size bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level. Upstairs opens to two areas making this a spacious primary bedroom suite. One side to sleep and the other use for a dressing area or office with an attached ½ bath. Property is situated on over an acre of cleared land with plenty of space and privacy. A stone patio off the kitchen allows for summer nights eating alfresco. The one car garage situated under the home has been brought up to code with a fire barrier ceiling and walls. Other new upgrades to the home are: NEW septic system in 2020, NEW driveway 2022, NEW well tank and pump in 2020, NEW UV water filtration system, invisible fence for dogs, and a remodeled full bath. Chester is known for their quaint Main Street with award winning restaurants, farmers market, and community events which makes this a perfect town to call home.

This 3 bed, one and a half bath Cape on 1.1 acres is looking for someone to bring back it's charm. With a little bit of TLC it could be a great starter house, down-sizer, investment property or a flip. The roof, windows and furnace are newer. Hardwood throughout the main floor with an open staircase leads to the 2nd level. Upstairs has new carpeting and a 1/2 bath, it's divided into 2 generous size spaces so could be used as 2 bedrooms instead of one. A stone patio with a staircase leads down to the garage under the house and the huge, open backyard. Plenty of space for whatever you desire and close to Cedar Lake. Lots of potential for a great price!
