About This Home
As of December 2023Situated on an acre of land, you can walk out of your door and into miles of pristine conservation trails and yet you are only 10 minutes to Amhert center and UMass. Built in 1940, when construction standards were high, this charming home combines the best of the old with many recent improvements. The second floor is newly expanded into a spacious MBR, 3/4 bath and sitting/study/exercise area. In addition, there are completely updated plumbing and wiring, new roof, new energy efficient furnace and new insulation in the roof and walls. A wood stove in the living room and stainless steel chimney were installed in 2009, and will keep you toasty warm when the cold weather arrives. Polished hardwood floors on the first floor and original art-deco style fixtures are reminders of the 40's. There is also a whole house water filtration system and town water and sewer will be available by year's end. This is your affordable home in desirable Amherst!
