Welcome to 55 Spruce Rd, a well-positioned Cape Cod in the heart of Amherst that offers flexibility, charm, and serious potential. Whether you're a first-time buyer looking for an affordable entry into homeownership, a downsizer seeking a low-maintenance footprint, or an investor targeting high-demand student rental opportunities, this property delivers. The home features a classic Cape layout with defined living and dining areas, two upstairs bedrooms for added privacy, and a functional main floor with additional sleeping or living space. While the finishes are simple and ready for your personal touch, the structure, layout, and location offer an ideal canvas for your vision—whether you're planning to move in, rent it out, or hold as a long-term asset. A generously sized backyard offers room to relax, entertain, garden, or expand, and the attached garage plus extended driveway provide plenty of off-street parking—key for both homeowners and tenants. This property sits on a quiet residential street, yet is just minutes from area universities, shopping centers, restaurants, and major highways, making it a perfect fit for students, young professionals, or anyone who values convenience. Properties in this location, at this price point, don’t last. Whether you're ready to start building equity or build your portfolio, 55 Spruce Rd is a smart, well-located move with room to grow. Versatile layout. Incredible location. Come and see what makes this one stand out.
