    What's special

    Executive Home in the Heart of Chester – Private, Custom, Renovated Showplace. Freshly painted throughout the main and second levels, this stunning 3-story, 4,079 sq ft custom-built Wesley Burton home is nestled on a quiet dead-end street in Chester, offering 2.81 acres of privacy and charm. Featuring 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and 3 fireplaces (including one gas), this home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates throughout. The main level boasts formal living and dining rooms with hardwood floors, a welcoming foyer, a spacious family room with built-ins and a gas fireplace, and an oversized eat-in kitchen complete with a peninsula, tile backsplash, and pantry cabinet. A screened porch enhances the home’s warmth and functionality. Upstairs, you’ll find four generously sized bedrooms, including a renovated primary suite featuring a wood-burning fireplace with a classic wood surround and dentil molding. The luxurious en suite includes a walk-in tile shower, double vanity, window for natural light, and an oversized walk-in closet—your perfect retreat. The walk-out English basement adds even more flexibility with a large rec room and wood-burning fireplace, a 5th bedroom or guest room, a full bathroom with walk-in tiled shower, a spacious utility room, and direct access to the back and side yards. Exterior highlights include a paved circular driveway, brick walkways, covered front stoop, patio, and fenced rear yard. You'll also enjoy two garages (20’x40’ with 10’ doors and 20’x24’ with power), four sheds, a luxury chicken coop, fire pit, children’s playhouse, trampoline, and a ready-to-go playground. Recent upgrades include: roof (2020), windows (2016), exterior paint (2021), and fresh interior paint (2025). This home is a rare find—an elegant and private oasis that lives like a year-round vacation. Basement was used for investment purposes as a Short Term Rental and generated approximately $1500/month.
