Description

This 1937 home delivers the classic charm everyone wants with the functional space modern families actually need. With 4 official bedrooms, 2 full baths, and multiple living areas across three levels, this house offers more room than most homes in its price range. Inside, original wood floors and arched doorways give the home its character, while the large living room and open kitchen/dining layout make daily living comfortable and practical. The basement includes two fully finished rooms the current owners use as bedrooms (no egress windows), connected by a walk-through closet, plus walk-out access and additional storage. It’s flexible space that can be used however you need—extra bedrooms, office space, a play area, or bonus living room. Major improvements—roof, furnace, windows, and appliances—have already been updated. Near the back entry, three oversized custom-built pantry/storage cabinets provide exceptional storage you won’t find in most older homes. Out back is a rare find: a heated and cooled 3-car garage, offering serious space for vehicles, tools, hobbies, or workshop needs. The backyard opens directly to the St. Mary’s Bowl, giving the property a wide-open feel. And with a short walk to downtown Chester, you’re close to stores, restaurants, and everyday essentials. If you're looking for character, space, storage, and solid update, all in one property. This home is absolutely worth seeing.
