    What's special

    Turn of the century Victorian in quaint village of Chester. Lovingly restored with period details, original moldings, pocket doors, hardwood floors and built ins, just to name a few. Sunny enclosed side porch for your morning coffee, overlooking professionally landscaped yard. Second floor balcony with mountain view, new second floor bathroom and 4 bedrooms make this home the true gem of the valley. A 3 stall carriage barn with separate work space for a studio or just your workshop all on 1.8 acres with stone walls, large yard and space for a garden. Truly the "Gem of the Valley".
