About 979 Chestnut St

6.2 Acre lot could possibly be divided into 2 or 3 lots. Close to all public schools, groceries, shopping, golf, restaurants, movies and Route 2. Partially sloping lot has been partially logged off. A meandering brook culminates in an antique stone dam giving way to the lull of its diminutive waterfall. Stone walls line some of the boundaries adding to the New England charm of this property. A magical little place that you really must see to appreciate.
