More than meets the eye

There is so much to love about this sweet Ryal Side Cape, starting with the covered front porch that welcomes you home. Inside, hardwood floors run throughout the first floor, where the living room opens naturally to the dining room and kitchen and sunlight fills the space. Just beyond is one of the home’s best surprises: an additional room with its own half bath. Use it as a home office, cozy den, playroom, guest space, or whatever makes sense for your life right now.

Upstairs are two bedrooms and a full bath, but some of the best spaces at 1 Virginia Avenue are outside. The kitchen opens to a deck overlooking the fully fenced yard, with plenty of room for summer dinners, kids and dogs, gardens, or a firepit with friends. Tucked beneath the deck is a private screened porch, giving you another place to spend long summer evenings outside without sharing them with the mosquitoes. Add the covered front porch and you may find yourself choosing where to have your morning coffee based entirely on the weather.

Set on a generous corner lot with two driveways and parking for three cars, the home is located in Beverly’s Ryal Side neighborhood, close to the commuter rail, Route 128, schools, trails, beaches, and downtown Beverly. Spend Saturday morning walking the trails at nearby Green’s Hill, head downtown for dinner and live music, or make the short drive to the beach when the weather is too good to stay home.

Charming, beautifully cared for, and with more spaces to enjoy than you might expect, 1 Virginia Avenue is ready for its next chapter.
