A Dutch Colonial in Beacon: A heck of a house, close to Main Street.

  |  May 1, 2025

This Dutch Colonial in Beacon has gracious details, just a hop away from Main Street.

The brick facade climbs three stories to an iconic gambrel roof. Curb appeal abounds in the grassy front yard and sweeping front walk.

A Dutch door swings into the entrance, which has a double-banistered center-hall staircase separating the living room from the kitchen.

White and bright, the kitchen has been updated, with a center island holding a prep sink and surrounded by four stools. Marble counters sit on white cabinetry that pops against darker wood flooring.

A picture window sits above the main sink. A half-glass back door opens to the yard.

Smoky blue walls highlight the dining room.

The center stairs climb three floors high.

Six bedrooms are housed in total on the second and third floors. This one’s just born for sleepovers, with a double bunk and a big TV.

Dark-gray walls are brightened by big windows in this bedroom.

This one carries dressing-room vibes. I’m ready for my closeup, Mr. deMille.

A lounge-y sitting room occupies this blue-walled space.

Twin vanities flank a jetted soaking tub in this spa-like bathroom.

A sunny alcove brightens the gray walls in this bedroom.

The second bathroom has a grid of white wall tile accenting black walls.

The third-floor bedrooms have walls and ceilings angled to accommodate the gambrel roof.

This room is bright and cheery.

The back porch is super-deep and welcoming, with a center staircase leading to the lawn and a stonescape of seating areas and a firepit.

An inground, saltwater pool is a pandemic-era bonus that’s made the property into a staycation paradise.

If nearly 5,000 square feet of interior space isn’t quite enough, there’s an attic and basement, too. Plus, the house is a stroll away from Main Street. All of this can be had for $1,799,000.
