Property Description
Chester has always been one of those places people dream about calling home. The sailing, the cafés, the small-town charm, the coastline... it's easy to see why. But finding a property that gives you all of that without being right in the middle of the village? That's where this one stands apart. Set on the shores of Stanford Lake, just beyond the village limits, you'll enjoy a little more space, a day in your kayak or a little swim, and the convenience of being only minutes from everything Chester is known for. Need to head to Halifax? Highway 103 is just around the corner, making the commute surprisingly easy. This classic Cape Cod has all the right ingredients, rich hardwood floors, a welcoming propane fireplace, a formal dining room, and a comfortable family room, walk-in pantry and main floor laundry. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a walk-in closet and ensuite complete with a soaker tub, a sitting area that could double as office space, two additional bedrooms and another full bath. Then there's the basement! With its walk-out design and impressive amount of space, it could become the recreation room you've always wanted, a fourth bedroom, a home office, or even a secondary suite for extended family. Outside is every bit as inviting. The expansive back deck, complete with awning, the lakeside flagstone patio and hammock spot are easily spaces to fall in love with. The paved driveway and direct-transfer generator provide peace of mind, and the garden shed has all the makings of an incredible bunkie, studio, or hobby space. If you've been searching for a home that feels established, exceptionally cared for, and perfectly positioned to enjoy everything Chester has to offer without giving up your own piece of quiet, this one deserves your attention.
