Property Description


0.25 Acres Lot
Built in 1915
For Sale - Active
Units n/a

Sunny, spacious, and full of character; this 3,116 SqFt 3–4 bed, 2-bath home in Cushman Village blends history with versatility. Originally an 1875 blacksmith shop, it’s been thoughtfully expanded by the same owners over the past 50 years. The home features a legally zoned commercial workshop with radiant floor heat and plumbing for a potential bath—ideal for live/work, creative projects, or studio space. A 2-car garage and bonus room with bath above offer great flexibility as a 4th bedroom, in-law suite, or rental. The main living area is up a set of stairs on the 2nd floor, bringing in abundant natural light, with a cathedral ceiling in the living/dining room. Enjoy being able to walk to North Amherst shops, restaurants, Puffer’s Pond, and the Robert Frost Trail. Set on .25 acres next to the Cushman Scott Children’s Center, just steps to the Cushman Market & Café, with PVTA bus access. Building lot next door also for sale--an opportunity for additional privacy, or a family compound.
