    What's special

    A love affair: inspired, quality renovation & expansion of mid-century modern, 4 bedroom, 3 full bath ranch with one car garage. Tucked away in garden oasis in the heart of Amherst Center, this property and grounds are in the Emily Dickinson Historic District, just around corner from the Homesteads. Perks include: 2014 roof; windows galore; cement-board siding; furnace & hot water heater. Inside delight in oak & cherry, gorgeous, galley kitchen with high efficiency SS appliances & pass thru bar; European lighting fixtures appoint all rooms. Cozy up to unique gas stove in LR as you peer outside. Just imagine: sit on rear deck enjoying breakfast while listening to birds in view of lovely blooming plants and flowers. Or grab coffee & croissant at Black Sheep. Prepare meals in cook's kitchen with view to gardens or step out to Johnny's. Partially finished basement walk-out and 3/4 bath. You will never pay to park: walk to Amherst Schools or Amherst College. In sum, rare find.
