About this home

The ?Yellow house on Larch Hill? has been a notable feature of the Amherst Townscape for over a hundred years. The location is superb! Walk to town in 20 min or to Groff Park in 5. Miles of protected walking trails behind the house lead to Bramble Hill Farm & another to the Northampton Rail Trail. In the mid-1990?s the current owners designed & built a two story, arts & crafts addition onto the back, west side, artfully incorporating woodwork that replicated the antique & expanding the house into 2,669 SF, a light-filled, 4-bedroom home, 2.5 bath (includes MBR with tile bath), 1-study with walk-up attic. Enter through the covered porch + mudroom into the grand room with skylight & oversized windows overlooking gardens & sunken patio. A custom kitchen & pantry with cherry cabinetry & hand-built cement & stone fireplace enhance the family room. The wide, oak-lined doorways & built-ins connect this space visually to the DR & LR, creating a unified whole. Welcome to your new home!
