Iconic Malt Hill, a 27-acre estate in Beverly Farms with private beach, is on the market for the first time in 50 years. One of a few intact summer estates from the late 1800’s era of Hale Street “cottages”, Malt Hill is an exceptionally private compound that includes a primary residence with unparalleled ocean views, a carriage house with three residential units, 3.8 acres of private beach, a delightful “oyster camp” overlooking an oyster farm on the tidal marsh, a gunite swimming pool, tennis court and pond. The exterior of the 3-story main residence is grand and memorable, with a warm stucco facade, slate roof, widow’s walk, and tall chimneys, while inside the home’s rich architectural details recall its “Gold Coast” origin with fireplaces in every room, a great room off the foyer, and an oval dining room with carved oval wood panels outlined in gold leaf. Truly a tour de force that awaits new owners and new life, just minutes from commuter rail and route 128 to Boston.
