Welcome to South Amherst, where rural beauty meets convenience and culture! Located on a cul-de-sac in a highly-desirable neighborhood, this expanded Ranch home has everything needed to live the good life. With an open floor plan, the spacious interior has beautiful hardwood floors, large kitchen with an abundance of counter space and cabinets, a cozy sun room, open dining area, entry room with wood stove, and a formal living room with fireplace. Down the hall, there are 3 nice-sized bedrooms, ample guest bathroom, and a half bath off the master. The partially-finished basement contains a sizable family room with bar area and lots of storage. The best part of this idyllic property?  Being able to stand on the wood deck and overlook the expansive park-like 1 acre backyard, with fruit trees, garden area, and stream. If you're looking for open one-floor living, peaceful location with lots of outdoor space, and being close to colleges, shopping and dining, this could be the home for you.
