Technically a townhouse, rarely does a unit deliver the presence, privacy and everyday livability of a single-family home quite like 23 Porter Street, Unit C. From the curb, you’d be hard-pressed to guess this is a condo. Set in an attractive, classic Beverly home, this spacious four-bedroom w/ primary suite, 2.5-bath residence has its own private entrances, one-car garage and parking for three additional cars, plus a large, level common yard that feels more like your own outdoor extension than a typical condo setting. Inside, the layout is what makes this home really work. Generous rooms, a natural flow and plenty of separation between living and sleeping spaces give you the flexibility today’s buyers want—room for a home office, guests, a workout space, creative projects or simply a place to spread out. The home is attached only at the rear, and the shared wall is limited to a closet and half bath, giving this unit an unusually independent feel. The house has great bones, classic character and plenty of potential. A little cosmetic polishing—think fresh paint and refinishing the hardwood floors—could make a meaningful difference and give the next owner the chance to put their own stamp on the space without taking on a major renovation. In other words, this is not a project house; it’s a house with upside. And then there’s the location. Porter Street puts you in the middle of the Beverly lifestyle: close to the energy of the revitalized downtown, with its restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, entertainment and everyday conveniences, while the waterfront is right outside your door. You’re across from a neighborhood park and close to some of Beverly’s best coastal spots, with Pleasant View beach a block away and across the street from Gillis Park. For buyers who want more than a cookie-cutter condo—but aren’t looking for the price tag of a traditional single-family home—this is a compelling middle ground. It’s the kind of place that gives you room to grow without giving up the convenience, walkability and coastal lifestyle that make Beverly such a draw. Come see why Unit C feels much more like a home of its own than a condo. Annual master insurance cost: $2070 annually.
