Historic Federal Period brick mansion on fabled Chestnut Street, Salem, MA

The home is so amazing. We got lost between rooms! It is so beautiful and true to its history but homey and comfortable. There were 10 of my family, sisters, daughters, granddaughters and cousins for a girls weekend. We spent the wekend in comfort surrounded by an unbelievable ambiance. We highly recommend this home and dealing with Rich was easy and friendly.

Great location!!! Easy walk to town.

My friends and I had a wonderful stay in Richard’s place. He was a great host and his beautiful home had everything that we needed. Just short walk to the heart of it all, the home was perfect for our Salem visit!

The house was in a great location within walking distance to everywhere we needed to go. Beautiful street

The property is GORGEOUS, historic, and comfortable. Staying there enhanced our trip exponentially

We could not have enjoyed staying here more. The photos show an elegant and comfortable grand home, but they don’t hold a candle to the reality. The home was so elegant and so comfortable. We were a group of 11 friends coming for a magical weekend in Salem and the home became the centerpiece of our time (and photo shoot) in the best possible way. I hope I get a chance to say somewhere this beautiful again soon. Salem was beautiful and this home was a privilege to stay in as we explored her wonderful history.

Our family traveled to Salem for a wedding. This home is huge. Pictures don’t do it justice. Beautiful antiques, art and carpet. Plenty of room for everybody. The sun room is amazing and so comfortable. Perfect location in Salem for walking around town. The owner lives in the home and meets you at check in to discuss some of the characteristics of the home. This is my first Vrbo where the owner actually lives there and packs a bag to leave when you arrive. Because the owner lives there it was a challenge unpacking your suitcase and finding space for your items because the dressers were full of personal items. There was a rolling clothing rack provided where you could hang up your clothes in each room. Sometimes I wasn’t sure what items I could use in the house and what things I should not touch. I felt like I was staying in my very friendly uncle’s home instead of a vacation home where I could just unpack and chill out. Due to the age of the home, there is no central air conditioning. However, there are individual units in each room as well as fans that help keep the rooms cool. Once I got over my own apprehension about touching things, we relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed the home. I would highly recommend staying here if you are an antique lover or a history lover, because this location and this house cannot be beat.

Great location, we were able to walk to our events. Rich was a great host. The house is great.

We loved the location and Rich could not have been easier to work with. Thank you for making it easy and such a memorable trip.

Richard is an amazing host. He answered all of my questions while he himself was dealing with a crisis. The house was immaculate, gorgeously decorated and met all of our expectations! I would recommend to anyone visiting Salem to try and get this house!
