About this House

First time ever on the market! This stately colonial in the heart of Amherst has been owned by only one family since its construction in 1915. The first floor features a beautiful foyer/parlor, leading to the living and dining room. Leaded glass windows highlight the front doorway and living room. The original woodwork has been untouched throughout the home, and crown molding is featured through the first floor. A large eat-in kitchen (remodeled in 2013) features soft-close cabinets and offers plenty of space for families to gather. The enclosed front porch is heated and cooled year-round, and doubles as a 4 season room. The second floor features 4 bedrooms and one full bathroom. The third floor features a HUGE 27x15 bonus room, taking the actual living space of this home to nearly 2000sq ft! This room features beautiful hand made woodwork, newer carpeting, ceiling fan, built-in cabinetry and an area for closet storage, and could be used as a 5th bedroom if desired. If you need space to tinker outside, the large 24x36 garage offers plenty of space for two vehicles AND a workshop space. This home has been well cared for! Additionally, the sellers are offering a home warranty through APHW for your peace of mind. Schedule your appointment for your private tour today!

    "I love downtown Amherst. It has the old small town charm, with many great restaurants including Cork's Wine Bar & Restaurant, Old Town Pizza, Ziggy's Pub, Quesadilla's, Hot Dog Heaven, Hastee Tasty Ice Cream and of course the Amherst Cinema. You can walk everywhere and there is also a great park for kids with a great playground and swimming pool."
