Property Description

NEW PICTURES AND FLOOR PLAN added! This one is a true Chester gem my friends. Having lived in Chester all my life, as a little girl, I was in awe of this mansion. I'd go to the Chester Public Library right across the street and read Gone with the Wind, and then come out and see this big mansion. I dreamed a lot back then! I didn't know much about real estate architecture at 9 years old - I have learned that a real Southern Plantation home was different, but in my 10 year old mind, it was something I could still dream about. Now my dream has come full circle. Come and see this beautiful circa 1840 classic for yourself. This one could be a beautiful bed/breakfast, VRBO, Corporate retreat/meeting center, Wedding destination...the possibilities are endless. There is a 4 car garage, a BBQ house, beautiful balconies and wrap around porch. 5 bedrooms with 3 full, 2 1/2 bathrooms, full finished basement with living quarters...just too much to describe here. There is an additional 1823 square foot home (102 & 102A Mullins Rd) in the rear (former guest house) currently rented as a duplex. Income is $1500 a month. Qualified buyers with preapproval letter or proof of funds can arrange a private tour of the house, grounds and duplex by calling the list agent. It's being sold AS-IS with ALL CONTENTS/FURNISHINGS. Showings for serious preapproved or cash only with proof of funds buyers please. Knox College is the benefactor of the proceeds as the generous gift from the Mullins family. Watch for the video! It's a true delight.
