Technically a townhouse, rarely does a unit deliver the presence, privacy and everyday livability of a single-family home quite like 23 Porter Street, Unit C. From the curb, you’d be hard-pressed to guess this is a condo. Set in an attractive, classic Beverly home, this spacious four-bedroom w/ primary suite, 2.5-bath residence has its own private entrances, one-car garage and parking for three additional cars, plus a large, level common yard that feels more like your own outdoor extension than a typical condo setting. Inside, the layout is what makes this home really work. Generous rooms, a natural flow and plenty of separation between living and sleeping spaces give you the flexibility today’s buyers wantroom for a home office, guests, a workout space, creative projects or simply a place to spread out. The home is attached only at the rear, and the shared wall is limited to a closet and half bath, giving this unit an unusually independent feel. The house has great bones, classic character and plenty of potential. A little cosmetic polishingthink fresh paint and refinishing the hardwood floorscould make a meaningful difference and give the next owner the chance to put their own stamp on the space without taking on a major renovation. In other words, this is not a project house; it’s a house with upside. And then there’s the location. Porter Street puts you in the middle of the Beverly lifestyle: close to the energy of the revitalized downtown, with its restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, entertainment and everyday conveniences, while the waterfront is right outside your door. You’re across from a neighborhood park and close to some of Beverly’s best coastal spots, with Pleasant View beach a block away and across the street from Gillis Park. For buyers who want more than a cookie-cutter condobut aren’t looking for the price tag of a traditional single-family homethis is a compelling middle ground. It’s the kind of place that gives you room to grow without giving up the convenience, walkability and coastal lifestyle that make Beverly such a draw. Come see why Unit C feels much more like a home of its own than a condo. Annual master insurance cost: $2070 annually.

Rial Side, located between the Bass River and Beverly Harbor, is a waterfront and residential Beverly neighborhood with working-boat scenery and salt-air streetscapes. The character concentrates around the Bridge Street corridor near the Kernwood Bridge, where marinas, small shops, and harbor views set the daily rhythm. Classic New England houses mix with compact side streets that angle toward the water and pocket parks. The Cabot – Beverly Cinema anchors local culture with a marquee-night feel downtown. Nearby, The Castle: A Board Game Cafe adds a playful, community-minded hangout. Lynch Park’s lawns and shoreline paths frame the neighborhood’s coastal geography.
