About this home

In-town Classic Cape with Additions and Upgrades. Walk to UMASS, Amherst College or Center. This 3-bedrm, 2 bath home w/ 1-car garage has aesthetic trademarks of likely builder, Bill Gass.

In keeping with tradition, seller added 3rd bedrm w/ built-ins. Encl. 3 season sunporch w/ deck off LR overlooks east facing, expansive bkyd. Both updated bathrms retain the original tiled floors & walls (main bath). Enter thru French doors into the DR & step up to Fam Rm/now music room w/ folding wd door partition. Go thru swinging door into compact kitchen. 2 large, dormered bedrms w/ bath occupy 2nd floor. Ext. improvements enhance historic look w/ Goshen stone walkway & retaining wall along w/ flowering trees & bushes.
