Description

Willing to work with renters around the academic calendar. Welcome home to this hidden Amherst gem, tucked at the end of a cul de sac within walking distance to downtown Amherst! On the main level, find an updated kitchen with quartz countertops, subway tile, and stainless appliances; living room with fireplace; dining room graciously lined with windows and custom built-ins; and bedroom with en suite half bath. Hardwood floors have just been refinished throughout. Owners have added central air and the house features Buderus boiler for baseboard heating. Off the living room, access a spacious wraparound porch and granite stairs leading to the fenced yard- this has been expanded and improved with stone walls, also featuring a goshen stone patio and offering plenty of room to gather and to garden. Just beyond the property lies Larch Hill North conservation area and access to trails. Only warning - The windows are kind of old and finicky.
