Take a tour with us through this splendid southern colonial and you’ll instantly be packing your bags for Chester. This one’s got those details that will make you fall in love. We’re talking head over heels, loss of sleep over its perfectness. No cookie cutter blueprint here. This one’s got the works – probably because the owner built it himself and the care and attention to detail is so obvious.

Of course we have to mention the kitchen, first and foremost. It’s ginormous with cabinets galore and plenty of counter space. The delicate built-in shelves and china cabinet give it life. Take a walk with us through the rest of this 4 bed, 2 bath home into the master bedroom where the set of french doors make us weak at the knees. We can just imagine pulling the drapes aside and walking out onto that glorious porch for some early morning fresh air. How luxurious! Other things we love: columns in the dining room, beautiful jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom, and knockout views of Sugar Loaf mountain. Last, but certainly not least, check out the curb appeal of this one. The old-timey, plantation style double decker porches are utterly dreamy and the red siding is perfect with that white trim. The only thing it’s missing is a big oak tree covered in Spanish moss. If you don’t scoop this one up then we just might.
