Exquisite Historic Victorian Home in Beverly, NJ – A Perfect Blend of Classic Charm and Modern Comfort Welcome to this beautifully maintained 3,290-square-foot Victorian home in the heart of Beverly, New Jersey. Nestled on a generous .70-acre lot, this home combines historic elegance with modern upgrades, offering 4 spacious bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and the potential for a 5th bedroom in the laundry room if desired. Stepping inside, you’re immediately greeted by the grandeur of a Victorian living room featuring a stunning working gas fireplace and an open floorplan that flows into the dining area. The living room windows were replaced and insulated in 2022, and the original main entrance door has been updated for energy efficiency. The vintage radiator in the living room is an original piece of history, adding an authentic touch. This home was once a taproom that Abraham Lincoln frequented during his visits, originally acquired by Caleb Perkins in the 1860s. Perkins, a local historical figure, is buried in the nearby historic cemetery. From the living room, step into the charming dining room, which also received a new door and insulation in 2022. While the original brick fireplace is now purely decorative, it adds to the room's historic character, and the beautiful original wood flooring throughout this space further enhances its timeless appeal. The lovely kitchen is equipped with new windows, new flooring, and a working wood-burning fireplace dating back to the 1800s, giving it an inviting, rustic feel. Adjacent to the kitchen is the cozy library, complete with new windows, original floors, and yet another small gas fireplace—perfect for curling up with a good book on a quiet afternoon.

This floor also includes a spacious guest bedroom and a newly updated bathroom with modern piping, original wallpaper from the early 1900s, and new flooring. Upstairs on the third floor, you’ll find two additional bedrooms with custom windows and new flooring. The in-law suite offers a working sink and coffee area, or it could easily be transformed into another bedroom, thanks to its jack-and-jill doors. This floor also features an upgraded electrical panel (2020), making it both functional and comfortable for guests. The exterior of this home is as captivating as the interior. You’ll love the wraparound historic porch, complete with original woodwork and a newly installed roof in 2017.
