Discover this wonderfully unique Contemporary set along picturesque Old Manchester Road in Amherst with frontage on Lincoln Pond. The driveway leads you to a warm and inviting home filled with character and natural light. Step inside to the impressive 15' x 24' Great Room, featuring a soaring two-story cathedral ceiling and a custom early-era fireplace now fitted with an efficient pellet stove that warms both floors. The open layout makes this space ideal for gatherings and everyday living. The Dining Room overlooks the front and flows easily to the Kitchen. Down the hall, the first-floor Primary Suite offers a beautifully tiled custom shower. The 1st floor bathroom/laundry room provides potential to add a shower making it a three-quarter bath. A second first-floor bedroom offers flexible use as an office, den, library, or playroom. The home has a 3 bedroom septic, but this family used it as a 4 bedroom home. The second floor includes two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and an open loft area overlooking the Great Room. The daylight, walk-out lower level adds even more living space, including a welcoming family room with a second pellet stove and 734± sq ft of finished space ready to suit your needs. The Daylight walkout Basement opens to the private back yard that can also be enjoyed from the 1st floor 16'x28.5' deck. The hidden bonus is direct access to 10+ acre Lincoln Pond at the back part of the property. Follow the yellow flags on about a 1-minute walk to the ponds edge to kayak, paddle board, paddleboat or clear the ice in the winter to have hockey games and ice skating. Put a Gazebo (with town approval) and fire pit to make lifetime memories! Major updates have already been completed for peace of mind including the roof, furnace, Dual Fuel HEAT PUMP Condenser, and windows. With the big items done, you can simply enjoy the home and personalize the remaining touches.
