Wonderful opportunity to rent a charming and spacious one bedroom apartment in a property situated among some of Chester's most beautiful Victorian-era properties, all within walking distance to historic Chester village. The property consists of five rooms in total, including a large bedroom, spacious living room, full size dining room, kitchen and full bathroom. To add to the charm of the apartment, the bathroom still makes use of an original claw foot tub and surround. The apartment is accessed through the home's main entrance and also has its own dedicated mudroom for storage of your belongings. To add to the storage capacity, the apartment also has dedicated access to a full walk-up attic to provide tenants ample storage. This apartment also includes a stackable washer and dryer that were installed in 2019. Finally, the kitchen is undergoing a full renovation beginning 12/1/25, which will include all new tile flooring and backsplash, paint and finish work, update to custom built-in storage, new cabinets, sink, dishwasher and mounted microwave. Pictures to follow upon completion.
We are looking for long-term renters interested in a long-term lease term of at least 1-year. Included in the monthly rent price is garbage/recycling, water usage, lawn maintenance, and snow removal on the shared driveway space. However, snow removal is the tenant's responsibility only on the front walkway leading to the tenant's dedicated entrance and also immediately around your vehicle. The tenant is also responsible for electricity, cable/internet, phone, and heating costs, which are separately metered. Heating is propane and the entire system was newly installed in 2017.
All applicants should have good credit standing and will be required to produce a recent copy of your credit report and credible references. First month's rent and security deposit are required at time of lease signing. Smoking is not permitted anywhere on this property.
Additional pictures to follow once the current tenant has moved out and the kitchen renovation is complete (began 12/1/25).
