Rare opportunities like this don't come along often—a thoughtfully updated Snyder home with two full baths, first-floor laundry, and an incredible park-like double lot that feels like your own private retreat. Situated on a picturesque tree-lined street in one of Amherst's most sought-after neighborhoods, this move-in ready home perfectly blends timeless brick charm with today's most desired updates.
The stunning white kitchen features granite countertops, a large center island, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, and opens seamlessly to the main living areas. The inviting living room with fireplace and tastefully renovated bathrooms add warmth and style throughout.
Major improvements include newer furnace and central air (approximately 2 years), newer hot water tank, updated windows and doors, and gutter guards.
Outside, the fully fenced backyard is exceptional. The expansive patio and oversized, park-like setting provide endless possibilities for entertaining, relaxing, gardening, pets, and play beneath a canopy of mature trees.
Just minutes from schools, parks, shopping, and restaurants, this is the kind of Snyder home buyers wait for—updated, move-in ready, and offering outdoor space that's simply hard to find.
Showings start this Saturday 6/20 @ OPEN HOUSE 11am-1pm. Offer submission is 6/24 @ noon.
