A wonderful retreat on 35+/- acres in Chester is ready for new owners to enjoy. The gated, serpentine driveway threads its way through the woods and by the large pond, taking in the lovely, open meadow with stone works and gardens leading to the classic custom 2+ bedroom, 3 bath chalet in an absolutely charming setting. As if transported from the Alps, the architectural features, such as handsome exposed wood beams, cathedral ceiling with a large wrought iron chandelier, a dramatic wooden spiral staircase and ceramic tile, all echo elements of style from the slopes of Northern Italy. The current owners have restored and upgraded each of the three full baths with a spa-like sensibility and added cosmetic upgrades to the kitchen and throughout the home. The cozy living room features a woodburning fireplace and as well as a mini split to warm and cool off as needed. The cheerful kitchen with quartz counters and breakfast bar adjoins the dining area.
