About This Home

As of February 2025

Ideally located on a lovely cul-de-sac in North Amherst near the Cushman Market and Cafe, bus routes and conservation areas. The living areas are open and bright, with hardwood floors in living and dining areas and cork flooring in the kitchen. The living room features a bow window and fireplace with woodstove insert. The dining area opens to the deck via a sliding glass door. The deck walks down to the beautifully handcrafted stone patio. The kitchen has been updated with a large island and corian countertops. Each of the bedrooms features hardwood floors and a good amount of closet space. The large upstairs bathroom features lovely tile work. Downstairs are three rooms that can be used for many purposes; family room, guest space, home offices, etc. A three quarter bath, laundry and one car garage complete this level. The lot is landscaped in such a way that you feel you are in the country, while being just minutes from downtown Amherst. All in all a truly lovely home.
