With a bit of TLC this home and barn (studio/guesthouse) can be brought back to the magnificent condition it once was. The previous owners were a prominent Attorney, Historian and Author and his wife who was also an active Historian and the Managing Editor of Antiques Magazine, a prestigious position she held for many years. Majestically situated on a quiet road near the lively Chester Downtown Center this was not only a home for "pillars of the community" but was a gathering place for many Historical Society and political events. Imagine living in this stately historic 10+ room Center Chimney Colonial with it's original fireplaces and beautiful wideboard floors. A special feature is a one of a kind, unique elevator located in a later addition to the home. The house has a versatile floor plan with first floor Master Bedroom and 3 Baths.
