Full Description

Located a block from Danvers Square, Beacon Street is a quiet, tree-lined street with no outlet, so traffic is never a concern. Consisting mainly of single family homes, families living on Beacon St enjoy an easy walk to the Town library, Town Hall, parks, churches, banks, many shops and restaurants, and public transportation ("T" bus service). Children of Beacon Street attend Great Oak Elementary School.

This hip-roof colonial was built in 1903 for David R. Drake and family. This century-old house has benefited from renovations that carefully embrace its original architecture while incorporating modern features. The kitchen enjoyed extensive renovations in 2003 with granite countertops, hardwood floors, breakfast nook and modern appliances. Earlier renovations resulted in a master bedroom suite, a bright and spacious third floor family room/bedroom with skylight. During each of these upgrades, the homes electrical, heating and plumbing systems were improved, and insulation added to ceilings, walls and roof. A new driveway was completed in the fall of 2009.

On the first floor are a living room, dining room, den, kitchen, breakfast nook and 1/2 bath. The second floor includes 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The third floor serves as a 4th bedroom or family room and has a wealth of storage area. There is a full basement. In the front there is an old-style porch; in the back is an expansive deck. The heating system is hot water fueled by oil, and the hot water is fueled by gas.
