A journalist once wrote of Chestertown:
“Norman Rockwell would have plenty to paint, and Sinclair Lewis would be busy takingnotes.” Once a thriving port, Chestertown today claims the distinction of a population that has not increased since 1900.
Don and Joanne Toft’s highly symmetrical Victorian (circa 1877) stands in the heart of the historic district. This large cream clapboard residence, with cranberry awnings and window shutters and lively eave detail, houses spacious spice-and-span rooms furnished with antiques,
dried-flower arrangements, potted plants, ceiling fans, and family treasures. Pull back the drapes and bathe in the sun: The tall, tightly clustered windows let in abundant natural light.
