Enjoy a downtown home subsidized by rental income & leased solar power. Just 1/2 a mile from the heart of Amherst, this antique home blends timeless character with practical updates. Also on the lot is a two-unit rental property, reportedly moved during the creation of the Quabbin. Great for multigenerational living! The main home (#57) features original details that exude historic charm, including hardwood floors, several built-ins, & a storybook front porch & balcony. The functional first floor layout offers an eat-in kitchen with walk-in pantry, a full bathroom, a dining & living room with working fireplace, a primary bedroom with walk-in closet & en-suite full bathroom, & a second bedroom, currently being used as a den. The second floor offers 4 additional bedrooms, one currently used as an office, and two of which access a balcony through French doors. The backyard duplex (#55) features two 2-bed/1 bath units, one on a lease through 4/15/27 & one to be delivered vacant.
