We happily invite you to stay in this beautiful historic brick mansion in Salem, Massachusetts for 3 nights. This breathtaking Federal Period mansion built in 1810 and first occupied by Leverett Saltonstall, the first Mayor of Salem, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It resides on historic Chestnut Street, which has often been called one of the most beautiful streets in America. The house is prominently featured in a number of books on architecture.

The exquisite 6,000 square foot house has 6 large BD, 3.5 recently renovated BA, a beautifully renovated kitchen with a Vulcan restaurant stove and cherry cabinets custom built by a furniture maker who has made pieces for the White House, a butler's pantry, an amazing formal dining room, a children's playroom, a laundry room, a wisteria-trimmed sunroom, and a library. It comfortably sleeps 12! The house is gracefully furnished with lovely antiques, Persian carpets, etc. While many visitors exclaim that the house should be a museum, they find it warm and welcoming, not stuffy. There is a lovely yard and garden and a gas grill for outdoor cooking.

The house is in a historic residential neighborhood on the edge of downtown Salem, within walking distance of the city's many wonderful restaurants and shops, tourist attractions, America's oldest museum, the Peabody Essex, the waterfront, and the train to Boston, which takes 25-30 minutes. The opportunity to stay in a home like this rarely presents itself. More information at https://www.vrbo.com/3839926ha?
