472 Main Street, Chester, VT, 05143 | $499,000

The Laurin Whiting House, circa 1850, is a Greek Revival style home with 5 bedrooms and 7 baths on 1 +/- acre. The curved, multi-bay veranda wraps around the front of the house with neo-classical columns and an oculus that punctuates the front gable end. A light-filled living room has French doors that open to the lovely porch and adjoin a large bedroom and full bath. The formal dining room connects with the eat-in kitchen with side entrance. An elegant foyer staircase leads to the large landing area on the second floor and a large, ensuite primary bedroom. A third bedroom adjoins a full bath and connects to a back stairway and two additional bedrooms and a bath. The convenient mudroom with adjoining half bath and laundry room connects the house to the barn/event space. The original barn is redesigned to function as a conference center. The meeting space has a separate bar area, two half baths, a tv/game room with exposed beams and a second floor billiard room. The potential uses for this multi-faceted property are many- a spacious full-time home with a business, a duplex, vacation home, ski club or an investment property with rental potential. A large, level yard offers space for gardening, badminton or croquet and a back deck for enjoying summer evenings. Walk to the Town Green for Summer Concerts, shopping and festivals and to the Town Rec area around the corner for year-round exercise and fun!

* The Initial Interest Rate and Initial Principal & Interest Payment are fixed for the first and adjust every six months thereafter for the remainder of the loan term. The Interest Rate and annual percentage rate may increase after consummation. The Index for this product is the SOFR. The margin for this adjustable rate mortgage may vary with your unique credit history, and terms of your loan.

** Mortgage Rates are subject to change, loan amount and product restrictions and may not be available for your specific transaction at commitment or closing. Rates, and the margin for adjustable rate mortgages [if applicable], are subject to change without prior notice.

The rates and Annual Percentage Rate (APR) cited above may be only samples for the purpose of calculating payments and are based upon the following assumptions: minimum credit score of 740, 20% down payment (e.g. $20,000 down on a $100,000 purchase price), $1,950 in finance charges, and 30 days prepaid interest, 1 point, 30 day rate lock. The rates and APR will vary depending upon your unique credit history and the terms of your loan, e.g. the actual down payment percentages, points and fees for your transaction. Property taxes and homeowner's insurance are estimates and subject to change.
