Welcome to a lovingly maintained residence located on a quiet street in Chester's desirable Dogwood Acres neighborhood. The peaceful enjoyment of its private setting is enhanced with tall trees and flowering shrubs surrounded by stone walls, brick walkways and lush level lawns. Gleaming hardwood floors lend warmth to rooms throughout the first and second floors. The entry foyer presents two coat closets, plus a large walk-in closet with built-in cubbies, a staircase to the second level and access to the formal living room and a private home office. An oversized picture window floods the living room with natural light. The living room adjoins a formal dining room with raised panel wainscoting. White cabinetry and black granite counters are classic design elements of the eat-in kitchen. The spacious family room offering multiple gathering areas is enhanced by architectural elements like the painted brick fireplace surround, a built-in desk tucked behind double doors, a bay window, an archway wrapped in exquisite moldings and sliding French doors to the porch. The large porch is the perfect transition from the house to the deck and yard and offers a space to relax and enjoy all this natural setting has to offer. A powder room and laundry room are situated between the kitchen and family room. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has two closets and a newly renovated primary bath featuring a marble top vanity, stall shower with gleaming tile, and barn-style sliding glass door. Three more bedrooms with ample closets, one a walk-in, share the hall bath which also was recently renovated with timeless tile work and a tub/shower combination.
