The Georgian Revival-style home, which has been restored and updated, was built in 1904 and has hosted actors, royals and dignitaries.
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, wealthy Bostonian families migrated to the shores of Beverly, Massachusetts—then referred to as the Gold Coast—to build their summer cottages. This is one of the last of those Gilded Age mansions that remains in the area, making it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own something this important. It was originally commissioned by a wealthywoman, Marion Sargent, but the home’s most prominent resident was tennis champion Eleanora R. Sears.
Sears was a well-known socialite who hosted many famous people at Rock Edge, including Judy Garland, Cole Porter, Harold S. Vanderbilt and, rumor has it, King Edward VIII of England. She lived here until her death in 1968. The current owner grew up in the home, and felt compelled to preserve and restore the place to its original glory. “She did throw a lot of parties and knew all the famous and popular people during that time,” listing agent George Sarkis of Douglas Elliman tells.
The property encompasses three acres, and the main residence is set far back from the street. Upon entering via the large driveway, there is a caretaker’s cottage near the gate. Eventually, you’ll reach the 28,000-square-foot Georgian Revival-style home, with its brick facade, limestone embellishments and slate roof.
There are 11 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, as well as a massive 1,500-square-foot gourmet kitchen. Every room feels incredibly elegant, like the grand, double-height foyer, formal dining room and many living spaces. The home’s redesign was led by Linda Zarifi of Zarifi Design, who fully modernized the home with stark-white walls, bleached hardwood chevron floors, custom woodwork, mantelpieces, French doors, large windows and more.
Amenities include a second-floor great room, which can be converted to anything from a media room to a fitness room or live-in staff quarters; sunroom; game room; and music room. There’s also deeded access to the beach with 400-feet of private beach overlooking Beverly Harbor, and a restored cabana with dressing rooms and a bathroom. Each bedroom feels bright and airy, made to highlight the ocean views.
