Built in 1860, sited atop a hillside and gazing down at the village of Chester, 25 Spring Street is a handsome example of period New England colonials in the area. Dating to colonial times, the town was founded alongside the Connecticut River around 1672. Today the central square is hub for an energetic collaborative of artisan boutiques, art studios and haberdasheries. You'll find award winning restaurants of all types seemingly around every corner. The Norma Terrace Goodspeed Theatre offers classic off Broadway productions much of the year 'round. During seasonal Sundays, the central square is closed off for the famous Chester Farmers Market, featuring local farm to table purveyors, outdoor dining and even live music. It's no wonder Chester attracts visitors from all over the state and beyond. From the house on the hill, all this lies practically at your doorstep. The residence itself has been given a recent facelift, restoring the classic facade to its historic patina. The 2164 sq.ft in interior have been tastefully renovated and updated with an en-suite primary and two guest bedrooms off another updated bath. The entertainment friendly first floor layout includes 5 rooms. Outside a large bluestone patio is a haven of privacy, but can also hold a crowd. Looking outside, the landscaped plus half acre is framed by evergreen shrubs, specimen trees and colorful plantings. So if you haven't already visited Chester, you can visit.chester.ct on your own.
