Tweed House is one of the historic gems of Beverly Farms, an area known as the playground of the Gilded Age. Nestled on a knoll with distant vista views of Beverly Harbor from upstairs, this remodeled carriage house (complete with original hitching post),
has the charm of yesteryear with the conveniences of today. As a bonus, the house has a notorious history as it was built, along with the adjacent estate, by New York's Tamany Hall celebrity, Boss Tweed. Although he never occupied the property it was there
for him, just in case! High ceilings and spaciousness best describe the ground floor that includes a light-filled living room with a corner fireplace and wrap around decks, a sunny tiled kitchen with a separate butler's pantry complete with a second sink (with
full laundry area) which entices one to cook. The floor plan of the dining/library is open and boasts an elegant Victorian chandelier over the large dining table and the inviting library lined with books and gleaming burnished wood paneling has plenty of comfy
seating. The half bath is not far away. The entrance doors are the original barn doors. Upstairs there are three plus bedrooms. The master with its queen bed facing the ocean, has an ensuite bathroom with an oversize soaking tub and separate shower. The other
two rooms each have twin beds, and the "office" has a queen pullout, perfect for overnight company. An excellent location: walk to Beverly's West Beach (1/2 mile), or into Beverly Farms (1 mile) or travel two miles to captivating Manchester-by-the-Sea.
