A Home Like No Other
Welcome to The Firehouse at
2 Phillips Avenue, Swampscott
An exceptional display of how to take the past and bring it, with breathtaking beauty, into the present – The Phillips Beach Fire Station! “One-of-a-kind” describes this home meticulously transformed in 2010 into a gorgeous 4 bedroom, 4300+ square foot property with many original features and reproductions on 3 levels of living – complete with the original fire pole!!
Upon entrance into the open concept living spaces, you’ll be greeted by 12-foot coffered ceilings, hardwood flooring, and the original fire pole - which makes for a quick descent to the lower level!
The chef’s kitchen is a dream. The abundant workspace has everything from a 6-burner stove, soapstone, granite, and butcher block, an expansive eating area, and a Butler’s pantry.
A sunken master suite is a retreat, with a luxurious soaking tub and his-and-hers walk-in closet with floor-to-ceiling built-ins. Three additional bedrooms are equally sized.
“The structure still has the stone walls encircling the first floor but now, instead of a hayloft and firemen's sleeping quarters upstairs, Hayes built three bedrooms for his children, a sports room and a master suite that sits five steps below most of the second floor for extra privacy.”
Outside, the original front bricks, which were brought from England over 100 years ago, lead you to the Rockport Granite and Cedar Shingle exterior home. Enjoy time outside, on the professionally landscaped grounds, complete with a six-zone sprinkler system. The landscape and hardscapes were recently professionally redesigned along with new fencing to allow for a completely private outdoor retreat.
Located in the highly sought-after Phillips Beach area of town, the home is in close proximity to beloved beaches, restaurants and shops of Swampscott.
Most people feel as though they have entered another world when walking inside this home - one full of creativity, talent, and passion. Don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind property!
It’s all right here.

In my 28 years of selling real estate, we've never experienced such a seller's market! That is why I'm constantly shocked at how many sellers are leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table by hiring agents who either don't know how or aren't committed to doing the work necessary to maximize a sale. If you want an agent who will squeeze out every dollar, hire a Realtor who has a plan to get all qualified buyers into a house and then is savvy enough to negotiate on your behalf to create the best offer. Too many agents are simply messengers, not skilled negotiators who understand how to leverage each offer. Strategies matter and that is what I specialize in!
I assist my clients with their real estate needs and aim to guide them smoothly through all stages of the transaction. I feel that real estate, done properly, is extremely complex and requires a long time to reach mastery.
Consumers are bombarded with information, to the point of overload. All that information is ultimately useless without the expertise to apply it. I am that agent who can take this information and turn it into knowledge, upon which action can be taken to enable you to make a truly informed decision. Buying or selling is the biggest financial transaction you'll ever be a part of. The difference between poor representation and great representation can be measure in tens of thousands of dollars! The difference is service, specifically the speed, accuracy, and method I use to deliver my knowledge. How well I do that is the key to your success!
