About this House

This is your opportunity to live in and enjoy the vibrant energy of Amherst in this spacious two-bedroom apartment overlooking the center. The whole apartment has been renovated and features high ceilings, oversized windows, built in cabinetry, and more.

From the moment you enter, you immediately feel welcomed. The kitchen has ample counter and cabinet space for all your culinary endeavors and features a large custom pantry. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the oversized living room. The bathroom has the historic claw foot tub maintained in excellent condition.

When it's time to step away, there are two generously sized bedrooms. The primary bedroom has built cabinetry throughout the wall and overlooks the center of Amherst.

One of the best features of this home is when it is time to go to downtown Amherst just exit right out your door and explore the mix of shops, restaurants, cafes, and cultural attractions. Stroll through the nearby parks, head to the renowned Amherst College or UMass campus, or go shopping in Hadley and Northampton.

    "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. "
