14 Maple St, Chester, CT 06412

Melding charm, functionality and even the opportunity for rental or Airbnb income, this Federal Greek Revival post and beam colonial is a stone's throw from Chester village, known for its art galleries, restaurants, and seasonal events such as the Sunday Farmers' Market and Winter Carnival. Carefully renovated with up-to-date mechanicals (including central air, city water and city sewer) stylish elements such as the copper kitchen countertop, exposed lath wall and contemporary spot lighting accent the authenticity of wide board floors, exposed joists, Rumsford fireplaces and a later era bay window. Potential for rental income, in-law quarters or in-home office is immediately apparent in the adjoining apartment which features its own entrance, full kitchen and 1 1 /2 baths. Incorporating elements of a private courtyard, clever land and hardscaping connect French doors to a Pergola covered stone patio, a generous parking area and spacious 2 car garage. Remains of a once "secret garden" can be found in the rear of the lot. As a Connecticut River town, Chester boasts large and small boat marinas and yacht clubs, as well as quick access to all of the water and beach activities of the Connecticut Shoreline. Halfway between NYC and Boston with a small private airport, near commuting options include Middletown, Hartford and New Haven via Route 9 and the I-95 and I-91 corridors.
