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.
