Property & Location FAQ

Important details to understand and verify

Concise answers addressing the municipality, published square footage, lower-level description, pool, property systems, schools and transportation.

Is 224 US Route 206 in Chester Borough or Chester Township?
The official NJMLS listing identifies the property as Chester Borough. Chester Borough and Chester Township are separate municipalities, although residents and area guides often refer to both collectively as Chester.
How is the home’s square footage presented?
The current branded property page publishes approximately 2,304 square feet. The official NJMLS display does not publish an interior square-foot figure, so the source, measurement method and treatment of lower-level space should be confirmed.
Is the basement fully or partially finished?
The NJMLS property field classifies the basement as partly finished, while the marketing remarks describe fully finished basement space. This block uses the more neutral phrase “finished lower-level space.” Buyers should review the floor plans, permits and physical condition to confirm the applicable description.
What should be verified about the pool?
Current marketing identifies a heated, in-ground liner pool. Buyers should independently inspect the pool, heater, liner, equipment, permits, fencing, winterization history and current operating condition.
What utilities and mechanical systems serve the property?
Current marketing identifies central air conditioning, multi-zone oil-fired hot-water baseboard heat, a solar system, private well, private septic system and sprinklers. Solar ownership or agreement terms and the condition of all systems should be independently verified.
Which schools and transportation options serve the Chester area?
The Chester School District serves local students through eighth grade, with high-school service within the West Morris Regional district. Nearby rail alternatives include Gladstone Branch stations in Gladstone, Peapack and Far Hills. School enrollment, station parking and current schedules should be confirmed directly.
