About This Home

As of May 2025

Lovingly maintained well-priced home on a quiet cul-de-sac ending in nature trails, yet walking distance to the center of town. You’ve got to check it out! This charming traditional Cape has 2 bedrooms and a full tiled bath on the 1st floor and 2 generously-sized bedrooms and 1⁄2 bath on the 2nd. The bright, tiled sunroom that opens to a private backyard is heated with a wood stove and mini-split. Other features include hardwood floors and replacement windows throughout, luxury vinyl plank kitchen floor, efficient Rheem Hybrid water heater, and updated bathrooms with luxury vinyl floors. Multi-zone heating/cooling minimizes the use of oil: pellet stove in the living room quickly warms the whole house and 2 mini-splits contribute to heating and cooling. Walk to a bus stop or Amherst College and drive easily to UMass and all the other local colleges. Convenient to shopping, dining, recreation, conservation land, the bike trail, and commuter routes.
