Yon Kay Istorik ak Yon Istwa pou Rakonte.
Ki kanpe fyète depi 1872, kay kolonyal sa a istorik se youn nan premye kay yo bati sou Black Meadow Road e li rete yon pati enpòtan nan istwa agrikòl Chester. Yon fwa antoure ak santèn de akre teren agrikòl ak bèf lèt, kay la toujou pote nanm yon fèm k ap travay pandan li ofri konfor lavi modèn. Ak plis pase 4,000 pye kare espas vivan, kay la melanje otantisite ak amelyorasyon reflechi. Eleman achitekti orijinal — ki gen ladan planche laj, ki byen renove — ajoute chalè ak karaktè tout kote. De eskalye bay aksè nan dezyèm etaj la, ki reflete evolisyon natirèl kay la sou tan. Kwizin nan rich nan detay istorik, mete an evidans pa travèse bwa ki fèt a la men, orijinal nan kay la ak yon veritab temwayaj sou metye 19yèm syèk la. Amelyorasyon modèn entegre san pwoblèm, ki gen ladan kontwa granit, mèb koutim, aparèy asye pur, ak nouvo planche HPL ki fèt pou dire.
Plan an gen ladan sis chanm ak kat twalèt, ak de chanm prensipal ki fè pè nan zòn opoze nan kay la, chak ofri klozèt ak yon sans de privasi. Antre a ki akeyan gen nouvo planche bwa, pandan y ap gwo sal lave a te mete ajou avèk nouvo planche an karrel ak yon twalèt konplè, ideyal pou lavi riral chak jou. Yon sal fanmi ki anba tè ak yon chemine kreye yon espas rasanbleman konfòtab, ak gwo sal manje fòmèl la, ki gen nouvo planche bwa ki renove, se parfe pou fèt ak okazyon espesyal. Nan dèyè kay la, yon solè solè ki plen limyè ofri yon retrè trankil—ideyal pou plant andedan, yon ti kwen pou li, oswa yon espas kreyatif ki jwi limyè natirèl pandan tout jounen an e ki konekte kay la ak peyizaj ki antoure li.
Basman an reflete istwa pratik kay la. Pandan li ristik, li te sèvi yon fwa kòm yon espas travay kote yo te pwodwi diven ki te kòmanse nan ane 1950 yo, ak etajè orijinal ki te itilize pou anbotay ak depo sezonye. Deyò, bwat jaden leve yo envite ou plante legim, zèb, oswa flè—kontinye tradisyon an nan travay tè a ak jwi rekòt lavi natirèl. Karakteristik adisyonèl gen ladan yon garaj pou de machin ak depo nan etaj anwo a, ak yon kote ki ofri lapè lavi riral ak konfò—jis yon èdtan soti nan NYC. Sa a se plis pase yon rezidans—li se yon kay istorik, ki byen okipe, pare pou akeyi pwochen chapit li.

A Landmark Farmhouse with a Story to Tell.
Standing proudly since 1872, this historic Colonial farmhouse is one of the very first homes built on Black Meadow Road and remains a meaningful piece of Chester’s agricultural past. Once surrounded by hundreds of acres of open farmland and dairy cows, the home still carries the soul of a working farm while offering the comforts of modern living. With over 4,000 square feet of living space, the home blends authenticity with thoughtful updates. Original architectural elements—including wide-plank floors, carefully refinished—add warmth and character throughout. Two staircases provide access to the second floor, reflecting the home’s natural evolution over time. The kitchen is rich in historic detail, highlighted by authentic hand-hewn wood support beams, original to the house and a true testament to 19th-century craftsmanship. Modern enhancements integrate seamlessly, including granite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and new high-performance HPL flooring designed for durability.
The layout includes six bedrooms and four bathrooms, with twin primary suites located on opposite wings of the home, each offering walk-in closets and a sense of privacy. The welcoming foyer features new hardwood floors, while the spacious mudroom has been updated with new tile flooring and a full bathroom, ideal for everyday country living. A sunken family room with a fireplace creates a cozy gathering space, and the large formal dining room, featuring newly refinished hardwood floors, is perfectly suited for holidays and special occasions. At the rear of the home, a sun-filled sunroom offers a peaceful retreat—ideal for indoor plants, a reading nook, or a creative space that enjoys natural light throughout the day and connects the home to its surrounding landscape.
The basement reflects the home’s practical history. While rustic, it once served as a working space where wine was produced beginning in the 1950s, complete with original shelving used for canning and seasonal storage. Outside, raised garden boxes invite you to plant vegetables, herbs, or flowers—continuing the tradition of working the land and enjoying the rewards of homegrown living. Additional features include a two-car garage with upper-level storage and a location that offers the peace of country life with convenience—just one hour from NYC. This is more than a residence—it is a historic home, lovingly maintained, ready to welcome its next chapter.
