The light- filled and bright three bedroom home was built by local boat builder John Barkhouse in 1919. Used as the Barkhouse family home and the site of his early workshop for many years. The restored home retains charming features reflective of the boat builders trade including hand hewn planks, softwood floors and clever built in storage nooks. This year round home has been used most recently as a family cottage and profitable short term rental. Recent modernizations include updated 200 amp breaker panel, pex plumbing throughout, spray foam insulation, renovated bathroom and kitchen. The sunroom addition adds space and is the perfect spot to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. The back yard offers a private oasis with a fire-pit and flowering shrubs. The side yard hosts fruit trees and the front rock garden has established perennials. Walking distance to Sensea Spa, Rum Runners Trail and Chester Village amenities. This is the perfect location for anyone looking to live in Chester or invest in the area. A second lot is included in the purchase and is the location of the homes private well. (id:2493)
