Description

Classic home built in 1937 features 4 bedrooms (2 down, 2 up) with a bonus room upstairs and lots of storage. Original wood floors grace some of the rooms, and so many arched doorways remind us of a time long ago. Living room is large and laundry is on the main level. Roof, appliances and furnace are newer. The big 3-car garage has heating and cooling, and even a kitchen area. The lot in back opens up to the St Mary's bowl for lots of open space. The windows are older, but the house is very solid....Classic home built in 1937 features 4 bedrooms (2 down, 2 up) with a bonus room upstairs and lots of storage.

If you need a house and garage with a lot of space, this one fits the bill. Partial basement has a walk-out, and so much room! So close to the main part of Chester, everything you need is in walking distance. Priced to move. Call for a showing today!
