Description

SOUTH AMHERST; Middle Street is oh so sweet! This luxurious, contemporary, executive, open floor plan, high ceiling, light, airy, NEW, ranch (whew!) has the perfect layout! It flows from the open concept living room/dining room/kitchen to the Master Suite on the north side and the 2 bedrooms and full bath on the south side. 9' ceilings thru out with tray ceilings for even more volume in the living area and master bedroom. Very sharp attention to detail and a certain sophisticated aesthetic play in every room. Every material and option is high end; kitchen cabinetry, "leather" granite kitchen island, vent hood, stunning fireplace surround, a 7' walk in tiled shower with glass enclosure. The location is superb as access to myriad trails is right outside your door at the base of the Mt Holyoke range..then you can head to Atkins for cider donuts or fresh local produce. Enjoy hundreds of acres of preserved farmland, and you can be in town, UMASS or Amherst College in less than 10 minutes!

    "My commute to work is straight down Rt 9. Ten minutes, if that. I live here out of convenience. Neighborhood is college students on all sides. Not the most desirable neighbors. "

    "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. "
