About 32 Gilbert Hill Rd

Welcome to a one-of-a-kind estate where history meets modern comfort - located within walking distance to Chester's charming downtown area. Built in 1986, this home was crafted using materials from a 1740 barn that were relocated to the stunning 5.31-acre rocky hillside it occupies today. The original timbers frame a breathtaking residence, blending rustic character with a contemporary and elegant design.
