The first level organizes the flow from entry to living, dining, kitchen and to three season porch. The living room features a vaulted ceiling with a bank of south facing windows. The dining area is anchored by a handcrafted stone fireplace. A large eat-in kitchen is steps away with plenty of cabinet space, granite countertops, a walk-in pantry and two additional storage closets. An additional multi-use room with full bath attached completes the first floor. Upstairs the expanded primary bedroom with sitting area has a raised ceiling, Palladian windows, a walk-in closet and en-suite bath. A second bedroom has a walk-in closet and en-suite bath. The lower-level functions as a bedroom or private guest suite with new windows, dressing/closet area and ensuite bath. Striking Goshen stone steps and walkways distinguish the three entries to the house. Mature trees and landscaping frame the front and back yards. An over-sized garage offers potential work and storage spaces. The Amherst Center is close by, the Norwottuck Rail Trail and Robert Frost Trails are minutes away from this most desirable location.
