About this home

Log Home with Character! Conveniently located on Main Street in Amherst you will find this one of a kind log home with five bedrooms and two and a half baths. You will have fun decorating this unique and somewhat quirky home from the inviting bedrooms under the eaves to the built in sleeping/reading nook. Living room, dining room, kitchen, half bath and master suite all on the main level with four more bedrooms and a full bath upstairs plus a family room on the lower level. Details include wood floors, exposed log interior walls, two fireplaces (one decorative), front and side porches and another porch off of the kitchen which could be screened. You can move right in and work on the house as you are inspired. Large level lot!
