Listing broker remarks

This vintage stone Cape possesses the curb appeal of a fairy tale. 2 bedrooms upstairs and a bonus room used as a bedroom downstairs in this classic 1940 Cape appeals to those who appreciate sophisticated charm. Granite countertops, sweet extra eating nook, replaced cabinet doors, walk-in pantry and newer appliances (2 are not even a year old) make this kitchen a superb spot for the foodie. Formal dining room with handsome built-ins, fireplaced living room, powder room and laundry all on main living level. Backyard wrapped in foliage & quiet. Wood floors and Marmoleum flooring on 1st floor. Central air. Roth oil tank. Newer shed in rear for extra gardening or yard tools or seasonal storage-- plus a superb sunny spot for gardening and wood storage. Downstairs bedroom could be a studio or work-from-home (separate entrance). Added small attached shed facing driveway. Pretty home nicely cared-for-- just 8-minute drive to downtown Amherst, 5 minutes to UMass.— Keller Williams Realty
