Steps to the Village! Vintage 1765 Cape with many updates but still true to the original charm of the Joseph Shipman House. Two staircases, 4 working firplaces, King's Board floors, wonderful floorplan and an up-to-date kitchen makes this home a step back in time but with the amenities of today. Quartz countertops and a complete kitchen renovation in 2017. New rear pressure treated deck in 2017. Renovated bath on first floor in 2018. Roof replaced in 2018 and gutters added. Complete second floor bath renovation off Primary Bedroom ( dual entrance ) in 2022. Invisible Fence. Brand new Post and Beam Barn with metal roof constructed in 2020 has a fantastic second floor space perfect for artists, craftsmen, or separate office - you have GOT to see it! Separate shed workshop with lighting and heater offers even more. Rear fieldstone patio was renovated and knee wall added in 2024. Freshly painted through out interior. Concrete floored basement. New hot water heater in 2022. A very special home on a totally usable level lot just a skip away from all the Village activities that Chester has to offer!
