About this home

Some properties just radiate a certain warmth, charm and magic and this home is definitely one of them. Imagine sitting on the front porch and listening the soft rustle of the willow tree leaves and the babbling brook trickling by, then you step inside and feel that you have walked into a home that was truly loved. The large kitchen offers nice upgrades including tile floor, granite countertops and appliances. The main level offers a bedroom, dining room, office space and living room. All of the windows have been replaced (except in the attic), updated electric panel, insulation done by Efficiency VT, new stoves in the barn room and living room (see MLS docs for the complete list). This property is perfect for anyone looking for a TRUE Vermont home with loads of potential. Great natural light, large bedrooms, hardwood floors and attached garage. One of the features I personally love is the screened stone patio (barn room) off the back of the house. The rustic beams and barn boards with wood stove is a wonderful space to relax and entertain. Above is unfinished space ready for your ideas, work out space? yoga studio? game room? There are pretty perennials and gardens surrounding the home. The back yard is private with attached shed space and back deck. Chester is a wonderful community and this home is perfectly situated for easy access to I91, Grafton, ski resorts, shopping and walking to the village green. The sellers have loved owning this home and have created many many memories here. Don't miss your chance to be the next stewards of this truly special property.
