ADAMS, Mass. — Are you looking for a home perfect for multigenerational living? Then this is the house for you.

Our Friday Front Porch is a weekly feature spotlighting attractive homes for sale in Berkshire County. This week, we are showcasing 100 Walling Road in Adams.

It is listed by Jeff and Heather King with Alton and Westall Real Estate Agency, who say it is a rare offering in the Berkshires.

Heather highlights the property as perfect for multigenerational living as it is two fully self-contained homes in one, offering an ideal solution for aging parents, adult children, or extended family.

This 3,407 square-foot home was built in 2007 and the main house features three bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths, while the in-law unit has two bedrooms and one bathroom. The buildings are connected by a breezeway, offering privacy for both. The property also has a detached two-car garage.

It is on the market for $940,000.

Heather told us the home is great to enjoy year-round.

This charming property offers a serene and peaceful setting with abundant natural sunlight throughout. In the summer and fall, open the windows and relax to the gentle sound of the bubbling brook enhancing the home, tranquil natural filled atmosphere.   

Enjoy the convenience of living together while maintaining privacy and independence, thanks to separate living spaces designed for comfortable and flexible living. 

This thoughtfully designed custom-built home represents a unique blend of luxury, comfort, and timeless craftsmanship. 

Rich hardwood floors, elegant ceramic tile, and classic molding and trim create a lasting appeal throughout the home. The main residence features a spacious gourmet kitchen with a breakfast bar, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. 

A warm and inviting family room with a wood-burning fireplace and a gracious living room provide beautifully appointed gathering spaces. 

The first-floor primary suite serves as a private retreat, featuring a bedroom bathed in natural light and a recently renovated en suite bathroom with radiant heat. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms with walk-in closets are complemented by a well-appointed full bath with a linen closet. 

The attached two-bedroom guest house or in-law suite offers exceptional flexibility and privacy for extended family or guests, complete with its own kitchen, dining room and living room.
