Description

One of Salem’s finest Georgian homes, built in 1750 for Capt. Benjamin Hodges, early sea captain & founder of Salem’s East India Marine Society (now the Peabody-Essex Museum). Part of a 4-unit association, this residence occupies the original house with antique details, including a McIntire-carved entryway, Georgian staircase with fluted balusters, and 18th/19th-century paneling. Bright & sunny, it offers modern flow for entertaining plus a charming sunroom-breakfast room overlooking the garden. Ideally located in the heart of Salem: near Salem Harbor, Derby Wharf, Maritime National Park, Salem Common, the House of the Seven Gables, and Peabody-Essex Museum. Steps from restaurants, close to Winter Island beach and Willows Park. For history lovers, it sits five doors west of Beadle’s Tavern , where the first accused witches were deposed in 1692. Minutes to the train, with 3 deeded parking spaces. A romantic, enduring home—perfect for those seeking an intact antique home in Salem’s heart.
