About This Home
As of May 2024Situated on roughly half an acre in town, your future home is near all of the conveniences Amherst has to offer while still being on a quiet road that is great for taking walks and going for bike rides. Many updates have been made over the years (current owner redid primary bath, all entry doors replaced & hardwoods refinished in 2021, heat pump replaced in 2023, attic blower replaced in 2020), but there is still the opportunity to style things your way! Great whether you're sizing up or down, there's plenty of space inside and out to make the house your HOME.
