Perfectly located just north of the heart of Beverly, and a short jaunt to Dane street beach, you can be all the places that matter in a matter of minutes. Welcome to the Diving Belle- once occupied by a deep sea diver, this pretty little home is easy to live in. Open kitchen and dining room for connected gatherings. Extend on to the front deck in good weather- or have your morning coffee with the backdrop of ivy. A half bath and laundry area on the first floor make laundry a breeze. The cozy living room opens on to the back deck, or gather around the woodstove when it gets cold. Upstairs is the primary bathroom with calming colors- and a primary bedroom that looks out over the yard. The second bedroom can double as a study or nursery, and the murphy bed folds down for guests. Outside there are many spaces- the front deck, the back deck, the side patio, and the yard and garden. Come and see the Yankee practicality and ease of living in this charming home.
