Tradition has it that the original owner, at the time a guest at the nearby Hackmatack Inn, when asked where his new home was being built, as he gestured with his hand, remarked with "Over the Way" and thus this iconic Chester home was named. Built in 1905 by a team of local craftsman, the home has been in the same family for five generations. Meticulously maintained and completely modernized, the home has a commanding presence with magnificent elevated western views over Chester's treasured Back Harbour and the islands beyond. This wonderful year-round home, with 5 bedrooms, 5 fireplaces, a spacious sun room, a new Aga kitchen & pantry, the original elevator (restored)/trims/hardware, covered veranda, is peaceful and serene, and also includes a billiards room, where all your guests will gather. The yard is private and enjoys a pretty garden with nature shrubs and lovely weathered stone walls. A new 200' wharf across the street includes a 13,971 sq. ft. water lot. A short stroll to the Yacht Club, Playhouse, Art Centre, and all Chester's interesting shops and cafes, the seaside golf course and full service marinas are only minutes away. An hour from Halifax's Stanfield International Airport, on Nova Scotia's Bluenose Coast, Over the Way is a welcoming home where you can start to make your own family traditions.
