Come to the beautiful, quiet fields just outside Montague Center village. This well-maintained 1986 Cape is a golden gem in the countryside. With an open floor plan, half-cathedral ceiling, skylights, and wood stove, the first floor is both cozy and airy. Recently-added large windows give a spectacular view of the adjacent meadows and nearby hill. One bedroom with half bath downstairs. Upstairs is a full bath and two bedrooms, one of which opens to a large balcony from which to enjoy the serene scenery. Make use of the kitchen’s large island, then bring your meals directly to the connected screen porch and enjoy the gardens and beautiful sunsets. The wood stove will keep you warm in winter and the mini split will keep you cool in summer; other than the wood stove, this house is fully electric. There is a large sunny vegetable garden ready to go, numerous flower beds, and an extensive irrigation system. Walking, hiking, and biking opportunities abound. 20 minutes away from Amherst.

This delightful contemporary Cape has been well-maintained and is located on a pastoral side road just outside of Montague Center. The house is set back off the road on a large level lot highlighted by sunny perennial borders, ornamental shrubs and a lovely shade garden beneath the mature maples. The open interior is brightened by large windows, full-view terrace doors and new (2020) skylights. The large brick hearth, substantial wooden posts, partial cathedral ceiling and beautiful open staircase all contribute to its architectural appeal. The sweet screened porch located just off the kitchen is the perfect spot for your morning coffee. A new architectural shingle roof was added in 2020, and all interior flooring has been recently updated. This prime location is perfect for biking, hiking or meeting up with friends at the historical and magical Bookmill where you can also grab a bite at the Lady Killigrew Cafe, or enjoy fine dining on the deck at the Alvah Stone Restaurant.
