On one of Beverly’s most coveted, tree-lined blocks, this exquisitely reimagined Dutch Colonial is a true showcase of refined design and impeccable craftsmanship-a decorator’s dream where every detail has been thoughtfully curated. From the moment you enter, the home’s elevated aesthetic is unmistakable. The gracious living room is both sophisticated and inviting, featuring artisanal lime-washed walls and a striking fireplace with gas insert that anchors the space with warmth and style. Designer finishes, including Cole & Son and Scalamandre wallpapers, add depth and character throughout the home. Just beyond, a sun-drenched den offers a serene retreat with picturesque views of the lush backyard-perfect for quiet mornings or elegant lounging. Designed for both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining, the formal dining room is enhanced by a custom built-in hutch and flows effortlessly into the showstopping kitchen, fully renovated in 2019. Here, form meets function in the most beautiful way: an oversized island anchors the space, while a 36″ Italian ILVE dual-fuel range with integrated griddle, rotisserie, and both convection and conventional capabilities serves as a true chef’s centerpiece. Complemented by sophisticated GE Cafe appliances, including a refrigerator with built-in Keurig and hot water dispenser, along with a pot filler and a full walk-in pantry, this kitchen is as luxurious as it is practical. The adjoining breakfast nook, complete with a bespoke built-in banquette with storage, opens through sliding doors to a newer bluestone and flagstone patio, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Every corner of the main level reflects a designer’s touch, from the chic powder room adorned with classic beadboard to the charming mudroom that combines style and utility with effortless grace. Upstairs, four beautifully appointed bedrooms offer comfort and elegance, including a breathtaking primary suite that feels like a private sanctuary. Featuring shiplap walls and ceiling, custom built-ins, and dual walk-in closets, the suite is complemented by a spa-inspired en-suite bath with custom vanities and Kohler fixtures, delivering both beauty and function. Additional full bathrooms continue this elevated standard with high-end finishes and thoughtful design. The partially finished basement extends the living space with a versatile recreation room and dedicated workout area. A backflow valve and replaced main sewer line provide added peace of mind and protection. Beyond its beauty, this home delivers complete confidence with extensive, high-quality updates: new plumbing, electrical, and HVAC (2019), tankless water heater (2020), roof enhancements including roof heaters on the rear of the home (2023), tuckpointing (2023), and newer upper level windows (2020). Outdoors, the experience continues with professionally curated, garden-inspired grounds that are nothing short of enchanting. Hundreds of tulips burst into bloom each spring, complemented by multiple varieties of David Austin roses and a beautifully trained espalier apple tree bearing three distinct varieties of apples. Raised garden beds with integrated composting bins offer both beauty and sustainability for the avid gardener. The fully fenced backyard also features an expansive patio finished in bluestone and flagstone, two sun-drenched decks, and string bistro lighting overhead-creating a magical setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. A refinished two-car garage with side drive adds convenience to this exceptional offering. Ideally located just a 5-minute walk to the Metra, this home offers an easy commute to downtown while maintaining the tranquility of a residential enclave. This is more than a home-it is a masterfully styled residence where timeless character meets modern luxury, and where the level of design, decor, and attention to detail is truly unmatched.
