**Incredible Opportunity Awaits!** Discover the potential of this charming three-bedroom colonial, ideally situated in the heart of Chester Village. With a new septic system, roof, and windows already installed, the groundwork is laid for your dream home. The interior is completely gutted down to the studs, offering a blank canvas for a full rehab or the perfect opportunity to build your own custom residence on this fantastic lot. Enjoy the serene sounds of a nearby waterfall from Upper Pond and take in the picturesque views of Jennings Pond. Just a short walk away, downtown Chester Village awaits, brimming with delightful farmers markets, restaurants, galleries, and unique shops. Centrally located just two hours from both New York City and Boston, and close to the Connecticut River, this property boasts an unbeatable location. Don't miss your chance to transform this house into your dream home or create a brand-new masterpiece in a stunning setting. This home is the second oldest in Chester. It features 2 driveways: one on Straits Road and another with an easement for access to the rear of the property from Spring St. The barn, built in 1846, was originally the town's first schoolhouse and was relocated to this property in 1873. There are 2 wells on the property-an old well in front that is no longer in use, and a second well at the top of the driveway on the right side, which is currently in operation. The new septic is for a 3 bdrm house
