Description:
Historically known as the Frank Harris House, this distinguished circa 1880 Queen Anne style Victorian commercial building on .75+/- acres has long been a landmark presence in the village of Chester. With its welcoming veranda and timeless charm, the property has served as a thriving office for many years and has many period architectural details throughout such as, a unique, colored transom window in the first floor meeting room, a white brick decorative fireplace with accent mirror in the large office/reception area, graceful bay windows, a mix of hardwood and softwood floors and a slate roof with diamond patterned bands. The heating system has recently been upgraded with a new direct vent boiler and efficient hydronic wall units to ensure comfort throughout the seasons. Additional features include a spacious kitchen area, 1.5 baths, a handicap access ramp and public water and sewer. The attached rustic two-story barn offers additional storage space and there is a large, second story three-season porch! Whether your vision involves refreshing the property for use as office space, transforming it to a multi-unit investment property or restoring it to a grand, single family home, the Harris House presents a rare opportunity--centrally located in the heart of Chester and within walking distance to the town green, shops, elementary school and recreation area. Also listed as under MLS #5058558.
