A Storybook Cottage Waiting to Shine Again. Tucked into an enchanting private setting in the heart of Chester, 150 Old Gladstone Road is a charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath cottage set amid grounds that were once beautifully designed and are waiting to be rediscovered and restored. Meandering pathways wind throughout the property, alongside mature plantings and three little koi ponds. With some care and imagination, this special home and landscape could once again become the magical setting it was designed to be. The home is livable but in need of updating, offering a wonderful opportunity to transform or reimagine it with a little vision. Completing the picture is a quaint little barn that adds to the property's character. The location is unbeatable, set among beautiful properties and million-dollar homes, yet within walking distance of Chester's shops and restaurants. The private property features city water, oil heat with a newer Roth tank, propane for cooking and a generator hookup. The property is believed to have a septic system; however, no septic information or records are available, and the condition and details of the system are unknown. Property is being sold as-is. Buyer is responsible for obtaining all required municipal certificates, inspections and approvals.
