Open layout takes advantage of this sunny 1+ acre lot with Asian pear and peach trees, raised garden beds and two sturdy sheds. Playful open interior design with character and flexibility. Partly finished attic space has been used as a 3rd bedroom and study. Replacement windows throughout. Interior is well maintained and exterior is scraped and ready for painting. Heated with propane units and a new pellet stove. Recent structural work in attic was done to stabilize sag in roof. A handyman's dream to finish making this historic cottage into a tight bright home. One shed has electricity and heat and could be a studio or workshop. Plenty of space for gardening. Known once as the Jessie D West House, it was moved from the Town of Prescott in Quabbin Reservoir in ~1941 and renovated since. 15 min to UMass and Amherst and 10 min to Quabbin Reservoir.
