PRICE REDUCED! SELLER IS MOTIVATED FOR OFFERS! So much to take in, and you don't find a property like this in the city limits often. Features 1.75 acres of seclusion with woods but so close to the downtown part of Chester. Three buildings: Lovely home built in 1990, former beauty shop and tanning salon (built in 2003) and oversized garage/workshop building all sits at the top of a hill in a very private location close to Cole Memorial Park in Chester. The split level home has 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, an above-ground pool (needs work) with a large fenced deck, wrap around porch and a big family room with fireplace on the lower level. You must see this one to take it all in. If you are looking for a fine home and a place to have a business or convert it to a mother-in-law residence, look no further than this one. The solar panels are installed but they aren't functioning presently. Call for a viewing of this one today. Seller prefers well-qualified preapproved buyers please. This is a very special home; come and see for yourself.
