What an extraordinary brick home built pre-1900 (assessor records only say 100+) located near the courthouse in Chester! The owner has spared no expense in renovating this gorgeous home into the 21st century. Open floor plan w/beautiful original oak hardwoods which were redone over the last 10 years. Renovations include: All new wiring with new lighting fixtures; granite countertops and new gas stove and refrigerator; complete bath install with new shower and vanity; full blown in insulation in the attic space and floors; gas fireplace insert with remote. The deck off the kitchen was redone, expanded and pergola added in the last year. Landscaping and native flower garden are exquisite on the double lot. Basement has tuck-under parking with a new garage door for off street parking. The office room has an outside entry door, but could also serve as another bedroom. This one is move-in ready and what a beautiful home it is with so much history. Come see it for yourself.
