This timeless 1700+ sq ft 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom New England cape home built in 1900 on 16+/- acres is located just a few miles from the Hamlet of Adamant and its famous Co-op, Maple Corner and Curtis Pond. The exterior was just painted spring 2026. The standing seam metal roof on the main house should outlast all of us.

The exterior was just painted spring 2026. The standing seam metal roof on the main house should outlast all of us. When you enter the home from the two car garage, there is a mudroom and full newer, updated bathroom. Just beyond that is a second full bathroom with a private toilet closet and a laundry room. There is new flooring on the first floor and the seller is leaving brand new boxes of flooring for the next owner to continue the work upstairs. A spacious, bright living room is located at the front of the house and a formal dining room is on the other side with access to the fully equipped kitchen with gas range and dishwasher. A three season porch that leads to the back yard allows for a relaxing space to enjoy the views of the side yard and barn. Upstairs there are three bedrooms. Off of the second floor landing are very large storage areas that could be easily converted to a small office or a bathroom. One area is located above a bathroom on the main level for easy access to plumbing. A new water heater was installed two years ago. Next to the house is a livestock barn that has storage above and a tack room with stalls on the main level. It was a chicken coop for years. Next to the barn is a fenced garden area waiting for next year's plantings. Although not used for a few years, located behind the house and a short hike through the brush up the hill is a well equipped seasonal camp with long distance views. The land was recently logged and left natural. The home has been lived in seasonally for the last couple years, but kept heated year round.
