Charming turn of the century cottage nestled in the village of Adamsville. Lovingly restored and modernized to be light filled and welcoming. Beautiful gardens surround the house and accentuate the property. Terrific patio to have breakfast or to entertain friends and family. Backyard stretches out to an open field with apple trees and is surrounded by stonewalls and split rail fences. The kitchen has a cathedral ceiling with exposed beams and an original wood fired cook stove. Fireplaces grace most rooms and all are wood except for the den which is gas fired. A small screened porch off the living room is perfect for reading or intimate conversations. Upstairs is a master bedroom with its own half bath and a large closet room, a guest room, and full bath with a steam shower and tub. This is a great house for year round or getting away to the country. Whole house generator. It is within the boundaries for the Acoaxet Club and Elephant Rock Beach Club. Buyer to pay LCACT.
