At The Villages at Chester, a private townhouse community, you come home to quiet private roads and a wooded recreation area, and the Association takes care of it all right down to the home’s exterior and even plowing your driveway and shoveling your walkway. Walk the wooded trails, spend summer at the pool, and book the clubhouse for your party. This end-unit townhouse has three finished levels, with hardwood throughout the first and second floors. The living room centers on a gas fireplace with a stacked-stone surround, prewired for a TV above. The dining room has a built-in corner cabinet and a slider out to a deck that runs the full width of the house, and nearly every window has a wooded view. The kitchen has knotty wood cabinets with a built-in wine rack, granite, stainless appliances, a five-burner gas stove and a peninsula with seating. The attached garage opens into a mudroom with a half bath and first-floor laundry. Upstairs, the large primary bedroom runs nearly the full depth of the house, with a vaulted ceiling, a skylight and a walk-in closet fitted out by California Closets with floor-to-ceiling shelving and drawers. The second bedroom is generous with two large windows, a ceiling fan and a double closet. A full bath with a double vanity connects the two, and a window seat in the hall looks out over your garden. Downstairs is the surprise. The finished lower level is carpeted and bigger than you'd expect, with a bonus room that stretches nearly the width of the house, full-size windows and a slider out to a patio and backyard. A separate room makes space for guests, or a workout area and another space ideal for an office or hobby room, and there’s the utility room and many closets for storage. Newer Andersen windows and a tankless water heater are already done. The HOA fee also covers trash, water and sewer. Pet-friendly community, and Chester keeps its small-town feel with horses and orchards nearby, and Pinkerton Academy for high school.

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. A three-quarter bath with a luxurious tiled shower completes the first floor. The spiral stairway leads to a spacious light filled living/play area with a wood burning fireplace and a balcony to enjoy the stunning view. A third floor loft/aerie makes a wonderful study or play area. A solar array with two Tesla batteries offsets the electric bill and protects the property in a power outage. The two car garage is neatly tucked under the patio that features an inviting hot tub. Out front, the stone patio will delight with its custom granite picnic table and benches- a remarkable conversation piece! There are trails to hike through the woods, frontage along the Williams River for trout fishing, an old stone foundation, and a delightful pond with a floating dock to swim and relax with friends and family, all in a mesmerizing setting within 5 min. to the Chester village. Close to Okemo and several other ski mountains. This unique property would make an awesome vacation or full time home.
