Description

Located in the Town of Chester, this mixed-use property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive asset in one of Connecticut's most desirable markets. As it stands, the property consists of approximately 5,000 square feet of commercial space, including one loading dock, three (3) garages, and an oversized on-site parking lot, supporting a wide range of operational and occupancy needs. The commercial component is currently configured as a combination of studio/gallery space, storage, and warehouse-style areas, broken down into six (6) clearly defined spaces, and features 10+ foot ceiling heights well suited for creative production, exhibition, fabrication, or light industrial-style use. In addition, the property includes two (2) existing 2-bedroom residential apartments, offering flexibility for live/work, income-producing, or owner-occupant scenarios. The improvements are situated on over 2 acres of land, and a defining feature of the property is its natural and scenic environment. Waterhouse Brook flows directly through the site, creating a tranquil backdrop, while the property enjoys a line of sight toward Gillette Castle, adding to its distinctive character and long-term appeal. The property has an ownership history linked to the late, renowned conceptual artist Sol LeWitt and served as his first warehouse facility in Chester, supporting the storage and handling of artwork during the early period of his time in the region. Consistent wit context, zoning identifies "Art Facility" as a permitted use within the district, which may support studio, gallery, exhibition, instructional, and live/work applications, subject to applicable approvals and conditions. The asset is being delivered free of tenants, providing an incoming owner with immediate flexibility to reposition, adaptively reuse, or owner-occupy without lease rollover or displacement risk.
