Description

Step into a piece of Adams history with the beautifully preserved Simmons Cottage, on the market for the first time in generations. Built in 1901, this elegant Victorian residence offers a rare in-town opportunity, blending architectural charm with modern comfort. Set on a .24 acre lot, just a short stroll to the vibrant center of Adams, with its restaurants, shops, and small town charm, this 9 room, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home is rich with original detail and character. From the moment you step onto the welcoming front porch, ideal for lazy summer days, you'll appreciate the timeless appeal of this property.

Supplements: Inside, natural woodwork and ornate moldings showcase the craftsmanship of another era. The grand foyer features a fireplace and built-in window seat, and leads gracefully into both the living room and formal dining room, each showcasing original ceiling details, highlighted by original Lincrusta wallpaper, that reflect the home's historic elegance. The paneled den/office (also accessed from the foyer), enclosed rear porch, and wainscoted powder room add to the charm and flexibility of the layout. A thoughtfully updated sun-filled kitchen features granite countertops, a breakfast bar, butler's pantry with wet sink, wine storage, and exceptional cabinetry. Hardwood floors, and two staircases, front and rear, provide effortless flow, with the rear staircase leading directly to the kitchen. Upstairs, the primary includes an en suite bath, and three additional large bedrooms offer plenty of space. The walk-up attic and original linen closet/pantry provide bonus storage and terrific potential. Outside, the five (5) car garage/barn is a dream for hobbyists or collectors, offering not only remarkable storage capacity, but also exciting potential for additional living space, guest quarters, or a studio, limited only by your imagination. Efficient gas heat, classic proportions, and an unbeatable location round out this special offering, a historic gem ready for its next chapter. Located just moments from the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail, Mount Greylock, Mass MoCA, and The Clark Art Institute, this property puts the very best of the Berkshires at your doorstep. Whether you're seeking natural beauty, world class culture, outdoor adventure, or acclaimed local cuisine, you'll find it all close by. Your chance to experience the rich lifestyle of the Berkshires starts right here, a must-see!
