Adirondack Gem in the Village of Saranac Lake

The Adirondack Gem is located on one of the main roads in Saranac Lake, NY. The house was constructed in the 1880's. The property was annexed into the village in the late 1920's. Several additions were added to the building prior to our family's purchase of the home in 1976. We occupied the home until the fall of 2013 when a total renovation began.
