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. 

This home is set on three private acres bordering a peaceful stream and hiking trails, the property offers a serene, estate-like setting defined by tranquility and natural beauty. 

The home gives people a luxury just minutes from the downtown and close to all the Berkshires has to offer.

Letter: Supporting Organizations That Keep Our Communities Strong

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

Berkshire County is home to many cultural gems, and the Berkshire Scenic Railway Museum (BSRM) is certainly one of them. Its Hoosac Valley Train Ride has become a cherished holiday tradition for families from near and far, offering a unique opportunity to experience our region's history, beauty, and sense of community.

It was heartbreaking to learn of the fire and the damage it caused. At the same time, it has been encouraging to see the determination of the Berkshire Scenic Railway Museum's team as they assess the damage, work toward repairs, and do everything possible to get the trains back in service and honor scheduled rides. Their commitment to rebuilding and moving forward is a testament to the passion and perseverance that keep BSRM alive.

The impact of the Berkshire Scenic Railway Museum extends well beyond the tracks. Here in Adams, the organization is an important part of our local economy. With approximately 10,000 riders annually, the Hoosac Valley Train Ride brings thousands of visitors to our community. Many of those visitors also spend time exploring our cultural attractions, dining at local restaurants, shopping at our businesses, and filling their gas tanks before heading home. That ripple effect matters, particularly to a small community like Adams.

I would also like to extend my sincere gratitude to the Adams Fire Department for its work to fight the fire. We are fortunate to have dedicated firefighters who respond when our community needs them most. Their service is a powerful reminder of the importance of the people who give their time, energy, and expertise to protect our neighbors, our history, and our community.

Volunteer organizations are often the backbone of our towns. Whether they are responding to emergencies, preserving our history, or creating meaningful experiences for families, these organizations bring people together and help make the Berkshires a place we are proud to call home. They deserve our recognition, our gratitude, and our support — not just in times of crisis, but throughout the year. I am grateful to the Berkshire Scenic Railway Museum for its determination and commitment to rebuilding, and to the Adams Fire Department for its service to our community.

I hope we will all do what we can to help the railway recover and continue sharing this special piece of Berkshire County history with future generations.
