Panoramic views unfold through a southern wall of picture windows, offering stunning seasonal changes. This architect-designed, single-level contemporary home is custom-built for its South Amherst setting on a beautifully landscaped acre. Thoughtfully crafted for comfort and efficiency, it features five zones of radiant floor heating powered by natural gas, a newer boiler, and solar-assisted hot water. The layout offers a private primary suite on the west end, a guest suite with bath on the east end, and a third bedroom currently used as an office. High ceilings throughout-including soaring soffit ceilings in three rooms - enhance the open feel. A cozy library with built-in shelving leads to a screened porch. The full unfinished, heated basement provides excellent potential for expansion. The Owners, Architect & Builder together accomplished a home they are proud to pass to a new owner. There is a bona fide rain barrel to assist with garden watering.
