This is in the Historical District of beautiful Chester, South Carolina. The home features two primary bedrooms. One is located on the first floor. The other one is on the second floor with a walk in dressing room, additional closet, and wing that leads to another private full bathroom. A former historic inn that could be reestablished. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. The charm of this Historic home is the 6 fireplaces with over 14 rooms within close proximity to downtown Chester retail and restaurants.

Serious buyers please text a valid driver’s license and pre-qualification approval from your lender. If you are being represented by a real estate agent then I need a text copy of their pocket card from the real estate commission of South Carolina. Sold as is with no contingencies. There is a new winery in Fort Lawn. E&J Gallo is just minutes away from our quaint town. Thank you for your time. (803)379-1809 Property Owner
