Property Description
Welcome to a one-of-a-kind estate where history meets modern comfort - located within walking distance to Chester's charming downtown area. Built in 1986, this home was crafted using materials from a 1740 barn that were relocated to the stunning 5.31-acre rocky hillside it occupies today. The original timbers frame a breathtaking residence, blending rustic character with a contemporary and elegant design. Step inside to the open-concept kitchen and living area, where 12-ft glass French Doors fill every corner with natural light. The loft above, nestled within exposed beams, offers a bedroom and versatile space. The main floor features a spacious walk-in pantry, a study/sitting room with floor-to-ceiling shelves, and a primary bedroom retreat with cashmere-lined walls and 40-ft ensuite bathroom and laundry room. The lower level includes a bedroom and large area ready to be finished into extra living space if desired. Venture further down to discover the wine cellar and the unique 'Rock Room' showcasing the natural quarry beneath the home. Outside, the large deck and patio provides sweeping views of the park like setting - framed by stone walls, lush gardens, and fruit trees. More highlights include a 2 car garage, shed, whole house generator, and foundation with utilities ready for a greenhouse, workshop, or other use. A valuable land strip offers potential for a 2nd driveway or subdivision. Don't miss this remarkable home with a story to tell - your next chapter starts here!
