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.
