Downtown living at its finest! Welcome to 220 Amherst Street, a stunning brick residence nestled in Winchester's prestigious historic district. This home blends timeless architectural charm with an unbeatable location just steps from downtown dining, boutique shopping, top-rated schools, parks, and the medical center. Classic historic character greets you at the curb, framed by a wrought-iron fenced front yard and a classic brick driveway leading to a rare detached garage featuring a brand-new roof.

Up on the top floor, a finished attic provides versatile living space with built-ins and fresh carpet, offering flexible space ideal for a home office, playroom, or media center. The extensive living space continues into the finished basement with durable tile floors and an awesome recreation room highlighted by a second wood-burning fireplace, built-ins, and ample closet space. The basement also includes a cedar-lined closet, dedicated laundry facilities, another full bath, and abundant extra storage space. Outdoors, the backyard sanctuary is fully enclosed with a newer privacy fence and thoughtfully equipped for outdoor leisure, boasting a screened-in porch, raised garden beds, a charming trellis pergola with a dedicated play area, and unmatched privacy right in the heart of town.
