Village Home Near the Park ~ With mature trees and shrubs on a large level lot, this home has a very private setting, yet is within walking distance of the day care, skating / hockey / curling complex, tennis club, schools and more. The covered deck opens to both the front and the back yards and is an inviting place to gather with friends and family, rain or shine! One level living with a mudroom, three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, laundry, hardwood / softwood floors, and a wood burning fireplace, all add up to a lovely family home with an appealing floor plan. The central open stairs lead to a bonus second storey area with a kitchenette, a den / office (could be a bedroom) full bath, and a second deck for star gazing. The upper level is light filled, and could be a family room or project area. Exterior stairs from the main level deck, expand the options for this upper space ... home office, exercise / yoga / art studio or granny flat. The detached bright garage has power, a workbench and offers a spacious loft for storage for all one's seasonal gear. The house is nicely set on the lot, with a slate walkway and a paved driveway, along with lots of room for a veggie garden or swing set. If more space is needed, the basement has a good ceiling height, several windows and would welcome development. Chester is a seaside village, offering a Yacht Club, Art Centre, Playhouse, coastal golf course, interesting shops / cafes, walking trails, full service marinas nearby, and more, 50 minutes from Halifax and 30 minutes to Bridgewater, on Nova Scotia's treasured Bluenose Coast, the South Shore.
