Prominently set on a quiet street in the heart of Chester, this well known & often admired village property is just what you have been looking for in the perfect shoreline home. The original house, built in the 1820's, was lost in a fire in 2004. With the guidance of architect Stephen Lloyd & master builder Bruce Lawrence of Bogaert Construction, the current owners created a new vision of the perfect home by combining traditional architecture with modern home design. Built on the original footprint to retain the old world charm the new house was completed in 2006. Stone steps lead to a gracious entry, the music room/study, a well-appointed kitchen w/new appliances & a light filled dining area…ideal for entertaining. The adjacent great room, brimming with charm & character, is centered around a custom fireplace built from hand selected stones from the original foundation. A full bath with a hand painted mural by well-known artist Liz Gourlay completes the first floor and in the center of the house is a unique custom stairway leading to the upper level... the the perfect space to highlight your favorite artwork. At the top of the stairs are two guestrooms with a shared bath & a romantic master suite with spa-like bath, cozy fireplace, an overhead skylight for stargazing & private deck overlooking park-like grounds. The lower offers plenty of storage and will give peace of mind with updated mechanicals. Located on .98 of an acre enjoy all Chester Village has to offer.
