This expansive three-story residence, built in 1898, stands as a prime example of grand late-Victorian architecture with its two impressive towers and a level of turn-of-the-century craftsmanship that is increasingly rare to find intact.
The spacious front and back foyers connect at a central ornate wooden stairway, revealing the scale and detail found throughout the home. High ceilings and remarkably preserved curved wooden archways frame transitions from one space to the next, emphasizing the generous proportions of the living spaces. In the living room, a stunning mahogany fireplace commands attention, balanced by twin tower alcoves that flood the space with light. Substantial pocket doors effortlessly close off both the living and dining rooms, offering a classic approach to privacy and layout.
The upper floors house the bedrooms, four of which include these distinctive circular turret bays, two with built-in window seats. The floor plan also includes a traditional butler’s pantry, a dedicated mudroom with laundry, and a convenient half bath situated just off the updated kitchen. A secondary back stairway adds a touch of authentic historical character.
Outside is a substantial two-story carriage house, offering exceptional utility and potential, alongside patio space and a classic wrap-around porch. The electrical wiring has been updated. The exterior of the main residence has also just undergone extensive repair and painting, ensuring its historic facade is well-preserved.
Positioned directly across the street from the green space of Beverly Commons, the home rests within a beautiful residential neighborhood. One direction brings you to the sands of Dane Street Beach and the coast, while heading the other way leads straight into downtown, home to the Arts District, the commuter rail, local restaurants and shops.
