A Private Escape, Thoughtfully Updated. The L-shaped Colonial is situated on a private, 8 acre wooded lot in the quintessential New England town of Amherst. This lot offers plenty of privacy, yet the convenience of a neighborhood setting. Imagine coming home to this private escape with a new inground pool, patio surround with built-in firepit, outbuilding and spacious yard! Into the Foyer, you'll find gleaming hardwood flooring throughout the entire home. To the right, the sunken family room w/ wood burning insert and built-in shelves flows into the spacious kitchen which overlooks the backyard. The eat-in kitchen offers granite counters, island, stainless appliances, Viking Six Burner Range and Subzero Refrigerator. The formal dining room is off the kitchen, and flows into the 20 x 19 Formal Living room with a second fireplace. Upstairs, the primary suite overlooks the yard, and offers a walk-in closet, double vanity in the bathroom and tiled shower. There are 3 additional bedrooms, full guest bathroom and second floor laundry room. The spacious basement is dry, offering even more storage. Outside, enjoy the Multipurpose, heated outbuilding--inlaw potential or perfect for the hobbyist, as it offers heat, plumbing, double doors to drive a car in, ceiling lines with compressed air and a half bath!  So much potential!
