Antique Home Old Town MHD, Ocean Views, Shopping
Marblehead, MA, United States
This Saltbox-style antique wooden home was originally constructed in 1750. This dwelling originally served as a shoe factory, with its owners residing above the shop. Several individuals have owned it since, including the Chapman family, who had a direct connection to Johnny Appleseed. Its unique Saltbox design allows for refreshing summer breezes and occasional glimpses of the Atlantic Ocean. The home is located in the heart of Old Town Marblehead, walkable to local shops and restaurants.

Other Details to Note
It's worth noting that due to its nearly 300-year history, the house may contain energies that some people are sensitive to. Over a 25-year period, there have been three benign sightings of a cobbler in a leather apron, all occurring in the master bedroom. While encounters with the apparition are exceedingly rare, you might occasionally hear faint noises or even distant voices in another room. Could it be your family? Perhaps, or perhaps not. Since it is an old building, we advise our guests to be wary of using too many electronic devices at once (ie. multiple hair dryers) as you could trip a circuit breaker. Also, since it is an antique home, the stairs can be a bit steep and windy.

Accessibility and Availability
Neighborhood
Marblehead is a quaint seaside town that offers many options for both locals and vacationers. Visit any of our local beaches — Gas House Beach, Devereux Beach or Grace Oliver's Beach, walk around Old Town and browse the local shops, or visit one of our many restaurants, such as The Landing, Sea Salt, Maddie's Sail Loft or The Beacon and enjoy some time with family and friends. If you take a quick drive over to Marblehead Neck — "The Neck", as it's commonly known — you can spend the day at the Chandler Hovey Park enjoying the lighthouse and all of the boats sailing in and out of the harbor. Or, head over to Castle Rock and watch the waves crash against the rocks. You will never get bored touring the lovely sights of Marblehead! And, if you are lucky enough to visit us during the month of July, you are in for a treat! The Festival of the Arts hosts a wonderful array of music, art and celebration (not to mention fireworks) to celebrate the birth of this great nation. It's a series of fun-filled days that you will be sure to enjoy! And, if you are visiting during the month of October, you have to venture over to Salem to take in Haunted Happenings! It's a must if you are in the area at that time of year.
