Riverfront oasis just outside the charming town of Chester. This 4-bedroom home sits on 3.71 acres bordered by a flowing river, with income potential and space for many interests. The detached heated and wired garage holds all the toys and includes a legal apartment above — currently rented, and equally suited to an artist's or writer's studio. The main level is a showpiece: vaulted ceilings, a soaring wall of windows, and an open-concept layout with a beautiful kitchen overlooking the living area. A propane stove anchors the space, and sunlight pours in across views of the property, pool and river. Two bedrooms and a full bath complete this level — ideal for guests or a home office. The primary suite occupies the upper level with its own private bath. The walkout lower level is currently an in-law suite with a separate entrance, kitchen, living room and utility/storage area — a very functional space with many possibilities. A large wrap-around deck overlooks the private grounds: meandering river, established gardens, chicken coop, pool, surrounding trees and glimpses of Stanford Lake. Two driveways offer parking for multiple vehicles plus room for additional outbuildings. Minutes to downtown Chester — groceries, hardware, NLSC, marina, yacht club, Tancook ferry, community pool, theatre, schools, shopping and dining. SenSea Nordic Spa is just down the road. Downtown Halifax is 45 minutes away.
