12 N East St, Amherst, MA 01002

Refurbished older home with rustic pine flooring on the first two floors and new construction on the third floor bedroom and bathroom. Directly on the PVTA bus line. 20 minute walk to downtown Amherst and a mile and half from UMass. Walking distance to Fort River elementary and a cross guard during school sessions. Owner occupied and maintained - always available if issues arise. Sound proofing through major common areas. Refurbished front porch and amenable to sharing garden space to dedicated gardeners. Parking for four vehicles. Renter(s) are required to pay electric, gas and water/sewer. Water/sewer bills are released quarterly by the Town of Amherst and will be provided by the homeowner for reimbursement. This is a well insulated building and gas bills during the winter (December - February) typically sit between $100 and $150 and are about half that early spring and late fall. Gas prices during summer months are about $40 a month (gas stove/oven). Reasonable water utilization results in a water bill of about $200 a quarter but has varied significantly on renters living habits. Electric bills are driven by utilization. This unit has a heat pump water heater which probably accounts for half the bill. Pets are negotiable and will require proof of expanded renter's insurance coverage as well as professional cleaning services upon move out.
