About This Home
As of August 2025Quaint Ranch home in the heart of Amherst. This two bedroom ranch offers so much privacy in a place that you wouldn't expect it. Very well taken care of home that needs just a little TLC to make it shine once again. It needs a new family to start it's cycle of life for the next 100 yrs. Rooms are very generous in size. Living room has a great feel to it with a door out the back to watch all what nature has to offer. There is a barn out back that is not safe to use without some structural stabilization. The space does have a lot to offer so defiantly worth the work to fix.
