41 Chester StreetStamford, CT 06905Price: $1,295,000

If you've been waiting for that classic New England Colonial that actually lives up to the charm, 41 Chester might be it. Tucked on a quiet, tree-lined street yet a short walk to grocery, coffee, gym and more, this location nails the balance of neighborhood feel and everyday convenience, with easy access to Metro-North, downtown, I-95 and the Merritt. Inside, it's the layout buyers want: true center-hall flow with a bright living room, dining room, updated kitchen, and a study with custom built-ins that works as a second living space or home office. Just off the main living space, the screened-in porch extends your living area and is the spot for morning coffee or relaxed summer nights. Upstairs, the renovated primary suite offers dual closets and an updated bath, while additional bedrooms are well-sized and an expansive walk-up attic offers great storage or future upside. Features two staircases, including a rear staircase off the kitchen for easy second-floor access and a practical everyday flow. The backyard is set up for real use with a new bluestone patio, fire pit and level yard, plus easy indoor-outdoor flow. Major upgrades include 200 amp electrical, new boiler, newer hot water tank, attic spray foam, second floor AC, exterior paint, drainage, repaved driveway with Belgium block, and French drains and sump pump in the basement. This is the one where you get all the charm and no projects.
