House Description

A charming expanded Cape offers the timeless appeal of classic New England architecture coupled with an enchanting, light-filled interior. Set on 18+ acres of mainly farm assessed property, this updated home's completely private, elevated site bordering Hacklebarney State Park overlooks woodland views. The spacious 3-bedroom, 5 full bath layout includes a main floor bedroom suite providing a one-level living option. Magical landscapes include established plantings, lush lawns and in-ground pool. Among the notable design elements are hardwood floors, crown dentil moldings, custom built-ins, window walls, arched doorways and a lower level. Centrally located about a mile from quaint Pottersville and the Black River General Store, this Cape is ideal as a weekend retreat, full-time residence or for downsizing buyers. Close to award-winning schools including the West Morris Mendham High School, plus shopping, restaurants and recreation. Local farmstands, pick-your-own orchards, thousands of acres of parkland, hiking trails, horseback riding and sports clubs give Chester a rural feel in a commutable Morris County location near Midtown Direct trains to NYC. Per 2025, 17.27 acres are farmland assessed with taxes at $64.68. Taxes on the remaining 1 acre are $20,975.40. Recording devices are on the premises. Please do not drive up driveway without a confirmed appointment.
