34 Paine Avenue: Rock Edge’s $22.99M Oceanfront Estate

Date of Publishing: November 7, 2026

The kitchen alone measures approximately 1,500 square feet, but the defining spectacle at Rock Edge is just outside its windows: the Atlantic, spread beneath a Georgian Revival mansion perched on a rocky bluff. The restored estate at 34 Paine Avenue in Beverly, Massachusetts, is asking $22,990,000, with private beachfront, a separate carriage house and a series of rooms designed around the water.

Set in Prides Crossing on the North Shore’s Gold Coast, the property is marketed with 27,313 square feet of living space, 13 bedrooms, 14 full bathrooms and four half bathrooms. Its approximately 3.16 acres accommodate both a formal landscaped approach and a much wilder ocean edge. Tracy Campion of Campion & Company Fine Homes Real Estate holds the listing.

A Grand Arrival, Followed by the Ocean

From the landward side, the house presents a carefully ordered composition of brick, tall windows and monumental columns. The broad drive leads directly toward the central entrance. Inside, a sweeping staircase curves around a lofty hall, where white architectural detailing and dark railings create a crisp contrast above polished wood floors.

Campion’s published listing describes “soaring 16-foot ceilings” and “elegant oceanfront formal living and dining rooms.” The photographs show how those proportions work: substantial reception rooms hold large furniture groupings without crowding the doors and windows, while the horizon remains visible beyond the formal interiors.

The decorative treatment changes noticeably from room to room. One entertaining space has a beamed ceiling and fireplace; another is wrapped in glossy green, with a long bar, glass shelving and seating arranged beside the windows. A paneled library supplies a quieter counterpoint, with bookshelves, a desk and a deep-toned ceiling.

A Marble Kitchen on an Exceptional Scale

The approximately 1,500-square-foot kitchen translates the mansion’s scale into a brighter, more contemporary setting. A long marble island provides extensive preparation space and counter seating, with a row of pendant lights suspended overhead. Pale cabinetry, multiple windows and reflective stone surfaces keep the room visually light despite its length.

Nearby, a window-lined dining area takes advantage of another coastal outlook. The contrast with the formal dining room gives the house different settings for meals, from an intimate breakfast facing the water to a larger gathering beneath a chandelier. Throughout the photographed rooms, fireplaces and tall openings reinforce the original formal vocabulary even where furnishings are more relaxed.

From the Veranda to a Private Beach

Along the ocean elevation, a long balustraded veranda creates an outdoor counterpart to the reception rooms. Tables and chairs occupy the terrace above the rocks, bringing meals and conversation directly into the coastal setting. The house’s position is particularly legible from the shoreline: its ordered facade stands over an irregular stone outcrop, with sand extending beside it.

The listing includes approximately 400 feet of private beachfront, restored cabanas and a swimming pool.
