About this home

If you've been dreaming of owning a charming antique home in desirable Chester, NH your chance is here! Even better, is owning a antique home that has all of the major work already done for you. As soon as you enter this property, you'll realize that this home was well loved for the past 2 decades by the same family who maintained it beautifully. Once you step foot into the kitchen you will notice the custom cabinets with solid surface countertops. The antique sink gives you a sense of the history that this home holds. The sunlight is plentiful in the front rooms that are the dining room and a bonus room that would make a great home office. The back of the home has a spacious family room with an amazing screened porch off it overlooking that back yard. One of the best parts of this home is the spacious mudroom off the garage. Upstairs you'll find 4 bedrooms, another bonus room and 2 bathrooms. This home has lots of it's original woodwork that you just don't see anymore, along with 2 staircases. Newer windows, furnace/central air, and tankless hot water heater are just a few of the many upgrades that you wouldn't expect to see at this price point. The only thing missing in this home is you!
