Location: Chester, Nova Scotia, Canada (One hour drive to Halifax or the Airport.)

This salt-box house has been renovated without any loss to its original charm. The layout of the first floor has a spacious, open feeling, accentuated by the original pine floors and the abundant natural light.
There is a custom eat-in kitchen, separate dining room, and large living room which opens onto a backyard deck and a fully landscaped garden with a stone wall.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms in the traditional Nova Scotia style. The four-piece bathroom includes an antique claw-foot tub.
The house is located on a peaceful, tree-lined residential street, tucked away at the end of long driveway; but just one block to the village center, and two blocks to the harbor and Yacht Club. You can relax here, and enjoy the Nova Scotia feeling of the house.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2000
My family has vacationed in Chester for over seventy five years and counting.
Why the Owner Chose Chester
Buying my Chester house was a childhood dream come true. The transformation of the house over the years of renovations and landscaping was trial and error, and I am finally happy to let it be (for a while.) It's a quirky house, with good "bones," like so many of the old houses that surround it.
The Unique Benefits of this House
My two main activities in Chester are: 1.) WALK 2.) COOK. I just love to walk around the village and on the trails, taking in the multiple ocean views and breathing the fresh air. My kitchen (with grill on the adjacent porch) is amenable to gatherings, and home of many seafood dinners.
