9 Elm Top, Beverly
$2,790,000
4 Beds ⋅ 3 Baths ⋅ 73576794 MLS
A rare opportunity to reimagine waterfront living in Beverly Cove. Privately tucked away in one of the neighborhood’s most desirable settings, this custom-built 1970 contemporary offers distinctive architecture, exceptional privacy and approximately 140 feet of direct ocean frontage, complete with private water access and a tidal beach. Designed to celebrate its remarkable coastal setting, the home captures water views from virtually every window. A reverse-living floor plan places the primary gathering spaces on the upper level, where expansive glass, dramatic rooflines, exposed beams and lofted ceilings create an open, light-filled atmosphere. The warm, inviting kitchen features rich wood cabinetry, a center island and wonderful architectural character, while the adjoining living and dining spaces provide a flexible backdrop for entertaining and everyday life. One of the home’s most memorable features is the spectacular screened porch projecting from the waterside of the house. Surrounded by mature trees with the ocean just beyond, it feels almost suspended among the branches—a magical setting for outdoor dining, quiet mornings and enjoying the changing tides and coastal breezes. The home currently offers 3–4 bedrooms on the lower level, providing separation between the living and sleeping spaces. The flexible layout also presents exciting potential for one-level living: the generously sized living room could be reimagined as a spacious primary suite, allowing the kitchen, dining area, bedroom and outdoor living spaces to function together on the same level. Generous windows throughout frame the water, trees and shoreline, while outdoor areas extend naturally toward the waterfront. Mature plantings enhance the sense of seclusion and create multiple places to relax and appreciate the setting. Architecturally distinctive, wonderfully private and filled with possibilities, this special Beverly Cove property offers an extraordinary connection to the water—and the opportunity to create a truly exceptional coastal home.
