Description

Enjoy this cozy single family home to yourself!

This is an amazing location on a peaceful residential street. It's on the PVTA bus route, only 2 miles to downtown Amherst. Hike for miles along the Robert Frost Trail, Amethyst Brook, and up Mt Orient. Get your fresh veggies right across the street at Little Light Farm CSA.

The bedroom is large and sunny, with an additional room for a small bedroom (suitable for one twin bed) or office. The well-lit kitchen has oak cabinets and a new range. Woodwork graces the dining room and living room. There's even a little sun room! Hardwood floors throughout, no carpeting. The tiled bathroom has a shower, no tub. One of the nicest things about this house is the high ceilings and ceiling fans.

The laundry room is equipped with washer and dryer hookups and offers some storage space. Note that there are no closets.

The walls are freshly painted, newly insulated and weather sealed. All of the windows are double-paned glass. In the winter choose between two heating systems: an oil furnace with forced hot air or high efficiency mini-splits, just installed. In the summer enjoy the comfort of whole house air conditioning. A new heat pump hot water heater adds to this eco-friendly and energy-efficient home.

Outside you can relax in the quiet of your own private yard. Store your bikes and other outdoor gear in the large outdoor shed. End-to-end parking is available for two vehicles.

If you like the idea of living in your own house, with your own yard, on a quiet dead-end street, surrounded by conservation land, and close to downtown Amherst, this may be the place for you!

One year lease. I am a responsive, local, professional landlord looking for responsible, reliable tenants who are respectful of their neighbors. Good references are a must and will be thoroughly checked. Landlord pays for sewer, water, and lawn care. Tenant pays for other utilities. Some shoveling of snow required. No smoking, pets negotiable. Security deposit equal to one month's rent is required.

    "A quiet, private location great for kids and pets, and parents who want their kids to go out and play. Abuts (9th?) fairway and hole of Hickory Ridge CC (XC skiing out your back door). Look for wild chives, turtles, muskrats and garter snakes along banks of Plum Brook, which winds through north section of property. Most of soil on property has high clay content. Originally had (perhaps still has?) a working fireplace in the half-cellar (an underground spring precluded a full cellar). Lots of space in attic. Hallway in the bedroom 'wing' was long and wide - perfect for games like Mother-May-I, RedLight/ GreenLight, and Walk the Walls. Short walk to Mission Cantina, Moan & Dove, PVTA stop, gym, and Pre-through-6 schools. A snowplow, chainsaw and ride-on lawnmower are highly recommended. "
