Location, location, location! Walk-to-town from this lovingly maintained Bill Gass Cape on one of Amherst's most desirable streets. Surrounded by professionally landscaped perennial gardens, stone walkways, covered porch, patio, and a private backyard this cottage-style home offers space, light, and comfort. Hardwood floors throughout, replacement windows, a working fireplace, and numerous built-ins and crown moldings provide a relaxing sense of warmth and comfort. The first floor music room doubles as a library and provides a quiet "away" space. The formal dining area leads to a cozy kitchen that is light-filled and looks out over the private, serene backyard. Upstairs there are two spacious bedrooms with ample closet space and a full tiled bath. The one-car garage has been converted to an artist studio with heat and electricity but could easily be returned to its original use. A rare find -- the condition, location, and charm of this home cannot be matched!
