Description

Historic character, abundant natural light, and remarkable flexibility come together in this beautifully preserved late-1800s Beacon home. Offering 2,136 square feet of finished living space, the property is currently configured as a two-family residence, while its generous proportions and versatile layout offer an intriguing opportunity for buyers envisioning one spacious residence, guest quarters, or dedicated work-from-home space. Step inside and the home's history immediately reveals itself. Two distinctive original staircases showcase the craftsmanship of another era, complemented by preserved woodwork, built-ins, architectural details, and hardwood flooring throughout much of the home. Even the cabinetry from an original dumbwaiter remains, now providing useful storage and a fascinating connection to the home's past. High ceilings, tall windows, and abundant natural light give the generously sized rooms an open, inviting feel. Each residence offers more than 1,000 square feet of living space, with spacious kitchens that are unusually generous for a home of this vintage. Distinctive bathrooms complement the home's character, including one with a classic clawfoot tub and separate glass-enclosed shower. A private back deck provides additional outdoor living space with beautiful views of Mount Beacon. And there's more beyond the finished living space. A large attic, reached by a full staircase and featuring three windows, provides substantial additional storage and room for imagination, while the detached two-car garage with loft space offers even more versatility. All of this is just two blocks from Main Street, placing Beacon's restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and historic theater within easy reach. Whether enjoyed in its current two-family configuration or envisioned as something different, this is a distinctive Beacon home offering a rare combination of historic character, space, and flexibility.
