Set in the heart of Chester, circa 1860 Lavers House with its elegant curved staircase awaits restoration. This historic home features six over six windows, spacious rooms and a kitchen ‘ell’ with wood wainscott. Formerly two rental units, there are two electrical services; the furnace & roof shingles have been replaced in recent years. The carriage house, converted some years ago to a guesthouse, is technically a separate property (though it is included in the price) and features double height living room with pine floors and a woodstove, open kitchen, bedroom & bathroom.

Chester is a well known and picturesque coastal village of approximately 2000 people. Noted for sailing, Chester has earned quite a reputation among the elite sailing crowd, hosting one of the largest annual fixed keel regattas on the east coast. A prosperous community, entertainments are plentiful: quaint shops and restaurants, an 18 hole golf course, marinas, offshore islands, a yacht club and a local garden club to name just a few. Thirty minutes from Halifax.
