40 Chestnut St, Salem, MA 01970

Grand single family townhouse on historic Chestnut Street in Salem. Started life in 1845 as a Greek Revival, later updated Colonial Revival details which has yielded a house with a rarified material quality...fluted pilasters, hand carved mantels, rich paneled wainscotting, mahogany windowsills, and the most delightful old-world butlers pantry. The whole house imparts a sense of enduring and elevated quality. Restored and updated to the highest standards: significant rewiring in the last year, 2 zone c/ac, recent new roof, custom baths, 4 zone irrigation & exterior lighting, & custom copper gutters, to name a few. The outdoor spaces are artfully designed for beauty, functionality and low maintenance. Located at the upper end of Chestnut St, lined with 19th century mansions built during the heyday of Salems seafaring trade. Minutes from downtown Salem and the train. This is a rare offering of a turnkey home in a completely intact 19th century New England setting.
