About this home

Located just minutes from UMass Amherst, this 3-4 bedroom, 1-bath home offers incredible potential for investors, owner-occupants, or university families seeking a smart long-term purchase.

Set in the sought-after Puffer's Pond neighborhood, this home is close to UMass Amherst, area colleges, conservation land, hiking trails, and all that downtown Amherst has to offer. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer looking to build equity, parents seeking housing for a student, or an investor searching for a property in a high-demand rental location, this home is full of opportunity.
