Easy one-floor living in an established neighborhood in South Amherst. An architect-designed addition and extensive renovation in 2012-13 added ~420 sq ft to the south side of this well-maintained home. The addition includes a vaulted-ceiling, light-filled study with built-in shelves and a hall that opens to the deck and connects the study with a completely renovated dining room and kitchen with breakfast bar. The expanded primary bedroom has a door to a private deck and has an en-suite bathroom with concrete counters and a sun tube. The 2nd bathroom was completely renovated with new fixtures, floor, and countertop and a sun tube. The large sunny backyard is lined with trees and shrubs and makes a great garden and play area. A new Trane heat/AC ducted heat pump system provides efficient heating and cooling, and solar PV on the roof helps with the electric bills. All the rooms have hardwood or tile floors. Convenient to the 5 local colleges, shopping, recreation, and dining.
