An extraordinary offering in one of Connecticut's most beloved river towns. Stunning sunrises over unobstructed views of Chester Creek sets the tone for this rare piece of Chester history. The Bani Denison homestead dates to 1781 and once served as Chester's first post office. Thoughtfully restored, this classic embankment Colonial with Dutch kick gambrel style roof offers modern amenities while preserving exceptional period detail throughout. Original wide-board chestnut floors and wall panels, six fireplaces (five working and wood-burning), original mantels and millwork, and two stairways, including the captain's staircase in the front foyer, define the home's character. The spacious primary bedroom features a barrel ceiling, fireplace and remodeled en-suite bath. A newly renovated kitchen blends seamlessly with the home's historic charm, while the finished lower level provides flexible space for a home office/studio/guest space with private entry. The home is filled with natural light throughout the day, the established backyard gardens providing privacy, and a seasonal floating dock offering access to the river for kayaks and small boats. Located in the picturesque Lower Connecticut River Valley, Chester is known for its charming village, galleries, shops, dining, and brewery. Nearby you'll find the historic Haddam-Chester Ferry, Goodspeed Opera House, and Gillette Castle State Park. Cockaponset State Forest nearby offers miles of trails for hiking, biking, and riding.
