A two minute walk to the Mill District in North Amherst or the Mill River Recreation Area with pickleball, tennis, and basketball courts and a pool, this sunny, well cared for home offers flexible living with separate utilities and updated kitchens. You will appreciate the two car garage and the fenced backyard, perfect for outdoor time with some privacy. Inside, all pine floors add warmth and character throughout. The first floor features two comfortable bedrooms, a lovely kitchen with pantry, and one bath. The second floor includes three bedrooms, a recently renovated kitchen, and one bath. Convenience is built in, with the UMass Campus about two miles away, plus easy walking access to Puffers Pond and nature trails.
North Amherst Village, located between Amherst Center and Sunderland, is a rural and village-style Amherst Town neighborhood with working farmland and a low-rise, historic streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the North Amherst Common at Pine Street and Meadow Street, where a small-town green and civic buildings set a calm, walkable rhythm. The Mill District in North Amherst adds a creative-industrial note, with studios and small makers in repurposed mill spaces. Homes range from antique farmhouses to modest capes on leafy lanes. Open fields and river-adjacent lowlands shape long views and dark-sky evenings. A short drive south, the Emily Dickinson Museum and the Mead Art Museum deepen the area’s cultural orbit.
