About this home

Enjoy the best of both worlds at 897 Highway 6, Warren-a peaceful country setting on a beautiful 3-acre parcel just beyond Amherst's town limits, with all amenities only seconds away! Take advantage of lower county taxes, municipal water service, and the luxury of having a little extra space to call your own. As an added bonus, the Amherst Golf Club is located just across the road, making this an ideal location for golf enthusiasts. The home offers a practical and inviting layout. Enter from the large paved driveway into a spacious mudroom, where one direction leads to a bright breezeway bonus room and attached garage, while the other takes you into the nice kitchen with plenty of storage and convenient main-level laundry room! The remainder of the main floor includes a dining room overlooking the backyard, a good-sized living room, full bath, and two generously sized bedrooms. The unfinished lower level provides excellent storage space, access to utilities, and a walkout entrance to the backyard! The real showstopper is the impressive lofted workshop.
