5 Benjamin Rd, Chester, NJ 07930

Renovated in 2014, this beautiful Colonial in bucolic Chester is sure to delight. From the moment one walks through the farmhouse entry door, the flow and warmth of the interior is evident. An entry foyer serves as a greeting area and is anchored by a handsome quarter-shaped staircase, beautifully stained hardwood floors and an ample coat closet. True to its classic center hall Colonial design, the entry is flanked by a stunning living room and sun-drenched dining room. Recently updated, the living room is a comfortable space to gather and relax. Updated six-over-six windows fill the room with natural light. French doors create a desirable flow to the adjacent family room. The dining room is complemented by a granite countered serving bar and is open to the kitchen, lending itself to either formal or casual dining. A bay window and charming window seat is a special feature of the dining room. The family room's focal point is a wood-burning fireplace capped by a custom millwork mantle and updated stone surrounding the firebox and hearth. Two storage cabinets on either side of the firebox add to the charm. The gourmet kitchen is a cook's dream complete with Bosch stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. A French door leads to the brick patio for outside meals. Finishing the first floor is a lovely powder room and a laundry room featuring a granite-topped storage cabinet and door to the backyard. Upstairs rooms are equally as impressive as those on the first floor. There are four bedrooms, all with original hardwood flooring. The oversized master bedroom connects to an updated master bath with a beautifully tiled shower featuring a pebble shower floor. The remaining bedrooms share a main bath with two sinks and handsome cabinetry. Outdoor living areas include a brick paver patio and a lush yard with natural privacy from surrounding woods. A delightful garden shed provides storage for seasonal furniture and yard equipment. This Colonial's central location in Chester is a quick 20-minute drive to Morristown and less than 10 minutes to the award-winning West Morris Regional High School as well as Chester's public schools. Ready for its next owners, 5 Benjamin Road is the perfect place to call home.
