    What's special

    A stone-accented center hall Colonial set on two level acres is located in the heart of Chester Borough, just minutes from highly-ranked schools, parks, dining and shopping. The updated five bedroom, four-and-one-half bath floor plan features recently refinished oak hardwood floors throughout the first level, deep crown and baseboard moldings, recessed lights, high ceilings, multiple skylights, two fireplaces and transom-topped entries into the living and dining rooms. A bonus area over the attached garage is accessible from the upstairs hallway and a rear staircase. A dramatic two-story foyer provides open sightlines into expansive living and dining rooms lined in oversized windows, including a bay window in the tray ceiling dining room. A privately-situated home office also has extra-large windows as well as backyard views. The family room's gas fireplace is flanked by arched windows framing serene views of the property. In the adjoining kitchen, new stainless steel appliances, a center island with soapstone counters and seating, refreshed white cabinetry and a subway tile backsplash are highlights. Sliding glass doors open to a composite deck stepping down to the huge paver patio, perfect spots for al fresco dining and entertaining. Completing the first floor is a bead board-paneled laundry/mud room offering extra pantry space. Upstairs, the gracious primary suite presents a gas fireplace and walk-in closet. The primary bath is designed with a new shower, granite-topped double sink vanity, jetted tub, skylight and private water closet. Secondary bedrooms are generously-sized, and each has a ceiling fan. Another thoughtful amenity is the home office/homework space on this level. Additional living space in the finished basement is ideal for relaxing or exercising and includes a wet bar and full bath. The three-car garage adjoins a parking area large enough to accommodate several vehicles. Open and level, the backyard is enhanced by an elevated play fort and roomy storage shed. This impressive Colonial provides plenty of space, classic architectural details and extensive updates in a premier town. Known for its award-winning school district and central location, charming and historic Chester Borough is situated in the picturesque Morris County countryside.
