Motivated sellers! Beautifully appointed from top to bottom, this spacious Colonial will not disappoint. Sporting hardwood and tile floors through much of the house, the floor plan is an open, flexible style - perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Oversized windows are found throughout and provide a plethora of light and relaxed ambiance throughout the day. The walk up attic is ideal for future expansion, the newly added media room and study on the lower level are a great place for a bit more privacy. Located on a 1.97 acre professionally landscaped lot - there are views to the east and south - a nature lover's retreat! Within minutes of downtown Amherst, shopping and area colleges - the location is perfect yet private. Well cared for and loved by the present owners - sadly,it's time to go. A must see for the discerning buyer.
