Beautiful South Amherst!! Lovely 3-4 bedroom home featuring a walk-out lower level with kitchenette area, bathroom and in-law potential. Large, lush lot on a quiet side street with a patio, plantings, garden area and a chicken coop. The open floor plan has a nice flow with solid laminate flooring and access to a 12 X 12 deck. In the roomy kitchen you'll find plenty of storage, granite countertops and stainless appliances. The primary bedroom opens to the bath and the two other bedrooms have built-in cabinetry.
