About this home
This grand 1898 Victorian stands as a prime example of late-Victorian architecture with two impressive towers and rare turn-of-the-century craftsmanship. Spacious front and back foyers connect at a central ornate stairway. High ceilings and curved archways frame transitions, emphasizing the generous proportions. In the living room, a stunning mahogany fireplace is balanced by architectural alcoves that flood the space with light. The layout includes a butler's pantry, mudroom with laundry, updated kitchen, and a secondary back stairway. Four of the upper bedrooms feature distinctive circular bays, two with built-in window seats. Outside is a substantial two-story carriage house, patio, and classic wrap-around porch. The exterior has just undergone extensive repair and painting. Positioned directly across from Beverly Commons, the home sits in a beautiful neighborhood blocks from Dane Street Beach, the downtown arts district, local dining, and the commuter rail.

Downtown, located between Beverly Harbor and Beverly Farms, is a historic and walkable Beverly neighborhood with a commuter-rail spine and a waterfront edge. Cabot Street and Rantoul Street concentrate the neighborhood’s character, where independent cafes, galleries, and small storefronts line the blocks near the theater marquee. The Cabot anchors the cultural calendar with live music and film in a restored venue. Montserrat College of Art’s galleries add a studio-minded pulse to the streetscape. Brick commercial buildings and compact side streets frame a day-to-night rhythm around restaurants and bakeries. Pocket parks and the harborfront set a salt-air backdrop for errands and evening strolls.
