Historic Salem Home Near ‘Witch House’ Listed for $1.9 Million

The Lindall-Gibbs-Osgood House, a historic three-story dwelling in Salem, Massachusetts, was listed for sale in mid-May for $1.9 million, with the price later reduced to $1.88 million. Built in 1755, this 4,670-square-foot home features six bedrooms and five bathrooms, embodying classic New England architecture with traditional clapboard siding. Its notable location places it directly adjacent to the Jonathan Corwin House, commonly known as The Witch House, a significant historical landmark directly connected to the Salem witch trials of the late 1600s.

The Jonathan Corwin House was owned by Judge Jonathan Corwin, a key figure in the witch hunts that occurred in Salem. It stands as the sole remaining structure in Salem with a direct link to that period of history. The Lindall-Gibbs-Osgood House itself has undergone a three-year renovation, transforming it into a bed-and-breakfast. The interior boasts two parlors on the main floor, each equipped with a fireplace, and the second floor contains three bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms.

Salem actively embraces its historical and spooky heritage, particularly during the Halloween season, when The Witch House experiences a surge in visitor activity. Beyond this peak period, the town offers an idyllic living environment, and the Lindall-Gibbs-Osgood House represents the desirable lifestyle sought by many who choose to reside in Salem. The property's unique proximity to a site of such historical notoriety adds a distinct allure to its market offering.
