Welcome to a one-of-a-kind architectural gem in the heart of prestigious North Beverly. Designed in 1949 by renowned Chicago architect S. Richard Klarich as his personal family estate, this exceptional mid-century modern home blends timeless design with rich history. Designated a historic home by the Ridge Historical Society (Klarich and Michel House), it has been lovingly cared for by the three families who have resided here since 1951. Sitting proudly on a rare oversized lot, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom residence is full of character, charm, and incredible craftsmanship. The moment you walk in, you're welcomed by elegant crown molding and beautifully preserved original parquet flooring. The layout is open and intentional ideal for entertaining or quiet evenings at home with a seamless flow between the chef's kitchen, dining area, and inviting living room. The kitchen is the true heart of the home, outfitted with high-end stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and a striking quartz waterfall island that anchors the space. It's both a dream for everyday cooking and a showstopper for hosting guests. The cozy yet spacious living room is centered around a stunning stone fireplace. Upstairs, the split-level layout creates privacy for the primary suite, while three additional bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the upper level. The finished basement expands your living space even further, featuring a fifth bedroom, full bath, wet bar, laundry area, and plenty of storage perfect for guests, hobbies, or movie nights. Outdoor living is taken to new heights with four balconies, each offering its own moment. The backyard is just as inviting, with a spacious lawn, raised garden beds for that green thumb, and a built-in patio fireplace that extends your entertaining season. Additional highlights include three fireplaces (gas, wood-burning, and outdoor), an attached 2-car garage, and an unbeatable location just steps to top-rated schools, beloved local spots like Top Notch Beefburgers, Rainbow Cone, and the North Beverly Meadery; once Klarich's very own supply warehouse. With easy access to the Metra and expressways, commuting is a breeze. This is more than a home it's a legacy. Meticulously maintained, filled with warmth, and ready for its next chapter. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of Beverly history.
