Federal-style homes are quite prevalent in New England’s architectural makeup. They’re found on Beacon Hill, for example, and in maritime ports like Portsmouth and Salem. These stately residences typically fetch a pretty penny, too, but this manor for sale in Witch City happens to be a really great deal.
The Federal manse on Chestnut Street—often called one of America’s most beautiful streets—asks a mere $877,000. That it’s under $1 million is certainly surprising, but your eyes might widen when you see the house is a whopping 4,185 square feet. That makes the place $212 per square foot—even less than the price per square foot of this fixer-upper for sale in Roslindale.
Though some rooms could stand to be updated, much of the house exudes period elegance. It also exhibits museum-quality architectural details like carved mantels, wainscoting, and wide-pine floors. The house has a butler’s pantry off the country kitchen, not to mention an attached guest suite and private gardens. Best of all? It’s within walking distance to downtown Salem and the waterfront.
