Beautiful South Amherst!! Lovely 3-4 bedroom home featuring a walk-out lower level with kitchenette area, bathroom and in-law potential. Large, lush lot on a quiet side street with a patio, plantings, garden area and a chicken coop. The open floor plan has a nice flow with solid laminate flooring and access to a 12 X 12 deck. In the roomy kitchen you'll find plenty of storage, granite countertops and stainless appliances. The primary bedroom opens to the bath and the two other bedrooms have built-in cabinetry. The sizable bathroom could be converted into two or an added laundry room! New heat pump is being installed for high efficiency heating and cooling, in addition to two propane fireplaces for extra warmth. The location can't be beat - a short walk leads you to miles of hiking trails on the Holyoke Range. Beauty of nature and conservation land abounds! First showing at the open house Saturday 5/16, 12-2. Offers will be reviewed Tuesday May 19 at 12.
