Welcome to Blue Ridge Lane in Amherst, where convenience and charm come together in a prime in-town location. Enjoy sidewalks that lead you throughout town to local restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, and everyday conveniences. Nestled on over an acre, this inviting Cape Cod offers a private backyard retreat with mature trees and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. Inside, you'll find 3 bedrooms, a dedicated office or flex space that could easily serve as a 4th bedroom, hardwood floors throughout the main level, a spacious living room with fireplace, and room for a large formal dining table. The main level also features laundry, pantry space, and an additional flex room. Downstairs offers more room to spread out with a recreation room, exercise space, and an additional living area.
