Officially a 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home, 1270 Amherst Rd offers 1,633 heated square feet on the main level, plus a full basement providing plenty of additional usable space. The main level features a comfortable floor plan with a large room just off the kitchen that could serve as a dining room, den, home office, or flexible living space. The one-car garage adds even more functionality with built-in cabinets and an additional storage closet. Downstairs, the full basement expands the possibilities with two additional rooms currently used as bedrooms, a living area, and a bathroom. With ceilings measuring just under 7 feet, this area isn't included in the home's main heated living square footage, but it provides valuable bonus space for guests, hobbies, recreation, or everyday living. Need storage or workspace? You’ll find a great workshop/storage area beneath the rear flex room, plus a separate outbuilding for even more room to keep tools, equipment, lawn gear, or recreational items. With flexible living areas, abundant storage, and room to make the space your own, 1270 Amherst Rd has a lot to offer at just $299,000.
