New Listings and Open Houses in Beverly
What do you want to bet all of these are on Sunday?
We’re having 2 sets of friends up — Rachel is going to COME UP EARLY for breakfast at Sugar Magnolia in Gloucester (RIGHT, Rachel???), and S & E are coming up for a big home-cooked seafood dinner late in the day.
Even when we rented, having room to entertain was a big priority. I hate going out. We have to go to a dance party in JP Friday night, being thrown by a friend who is close enough that she will sniff out any lie I tell to get out of it. I hate to dance, and others hate it when I try to dance near them, but I guess someone hasn’t been invited to enough weddings lately. (I hate weddings, too.)
74 Haskell Street is a bargain in “The Farms,” which means Beverly Farms, where Updike lives. No open house listed for this one, but some of the pics make it look like a really pleasant little house. Way better than a condo, as far as I’m concerned.
55 Cole Street is in a great part of town, not too far from the commuter rail and Lynch Park. It’s kind of the quintessential New England house. And, it’s $379k for over 1500 square feet, with a fireplace. Sunday 2-3:30.
4 Millbrook Road is 2200 sq. ft. Cape with a fireplace for $449k. I like Centerville — there’s some seriously pretty landscape over that way. Sunday 1-3.
15 Rezza Road is another house that’s small for ‘The Farms.’ The price reflects it, but only a bit. $462k for 1600 sq. ft. and a nice sized yard. Sunday 1-3.
