Distinguished 18th-century high Georgian home on over half an acre in the McIntire Historic District. Set atop a knoll once known as Meetinghouse Hill, this 1744 home was built for prominent shipping merchant Joseph Cabot and remained in the family for nearly 150 years. Later owned by the Endicotts, Lows, and George Parker (of Parker Brothers Games), it features magnificent 18th-century architectural elements, such as a grand staircase adorned with a hand-carved urn & fluted balusters, intricate casework, rich paneling gracing the principal rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors, and an oversized Palladian window lighting the central halls. A charming old-world butler’s pantry and a tasteful bespoke kitchen and breakfast room, are flooded with light from 3 exposures. The rear grounds evoke a country estate with mature plantings, multiple outdoor living areas, a restored barn, and a second outbuilding...all just steps from the Salem Athenaeum, public library, and a 5-minute walk to downtown.
