Description

Steeped in North Shore history, this Beaux-Arts residence was designed by famed architect Guy Lowell of Boston in 1904 as a Gold Coast summer home. Restored to its former elegance, this stone-stucco hilltop manor on 7+ acres in Beverly Farms center retains its irreplaceable craftsmanship exemplified by carved wood paneling and intricate architectural details that complement spacious formal rooms with 12-foot ceilings, full length mullioned windows, stunning fireplace surrounds, built-in window seats, and floor-to-ceiling bookcases. A chef’s kitchen with an arched ceiling and massive Calcutta Gold marble-topped island is an ideal gathering spot. A spacious master suite overlooks the pond. 3 additional bedroom suites each have full baths. Several separate office spaces allow everyone to work from home comfortably. Large sitting room, 2 guest bedrooms and full bath on 3rd floor. Ample closet space. An indoor sport court/gym, tennis court and paddle court are perks for active households.
