About this home

Set on a peaceful tree-lined Amherst street, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath brick Cape Cod offers the ideal blend of character and functionality. Inside, you’ll find shimmering hardwood floors, updated windows, and refreshed paint throughout. The first floor features an open living/dining room combination, complete with a wood fireplace (NRTC). The galley-style kitchen features oak cabinetry topped with Corian. Just off the kitchen is a family room/den, featuring a gas-fired stove and natural wood plank walls for a genuine cozy vibe. The attached 1-car garage boasts a glistening epoxy floor and a loft storage area. The second floor comprises three bedrooms, updated with newer triple-pane windows to maximize efficiency. The primary bedroom has hardwood floors, and the two secondary bedrooms have carpets which have been professionally cleaned. The full bathroom was updated roughly 10 years ago. A partially finished basement is perfect for a playroom, office, or simply extra living space. The utility area contains a half bath, laundry, mechanicals, and had drain tile professionally installed by one of the local leaders in basement waterproofing. Outside, a generous composite deck with retractable awning overlooks the deep backyard. Electric connections for a hot tub have already been installed. A standout feature is the detached 12' x 20' workshop — built in 2020 and fully powered with its own 200 amp electric service, adding to the 200 amp service in the main house. This space offers a 9' bay door, side man door, and ventilation. It would be easy to add insulation and a heat source for year-round comfort. This space could be a wood shop, gym, artists studio, car storage, or the basis to build a backyard entertaining oasis -- the possibilities are endless. Whether you're a hobbyist, contractor, or simply need extra storage space, this setup offers flexibility and serious utility. All of this comes with convenient access to UB South Campus, Niagara Falls Boulevard, shopping, dining, and transit options—making this home as practical as it is inviting.
