About This Home
As of June 2025This lovely spacious home on over an acre in South Amherst sits well back from the road, giving it a private woodsy feel. You may want to do some updating but the interior of this home is freshly painted and the refinished hardwood floors throughout are gorgeous (except bathrooms and kitchen). The spacious living room has a fireplace. Off the dining room is an expansive deck perfect for summer gatherings. The house has good storage with large closets in all the bedrooms, plus two closets in the entrance hall and a large closet in the upstairs hall. The basement shows no signs of water penetration (apo) giving you even more storage space. The lot has several flowering trees and shrubs and is located close to many conservation area trails, making it a nice spot for anyone who likes to be in nature.
