The George Nichols House, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

It's hard to resist the urge to cover a house in Salem, Massachusetts on Halloween. The historic town on the Massachusetts North Shore has become a Halloween headquarters. It's also got some beautiful old real estate. The Boston Globe highlighted one example as their house of the week and I'm picking up another today. The George Nichols House was built in 1816 and is located in Salem's McIntire Historic District on Chestnut Street, a street which features many fine Federal period homes. This one has nine bedrooms total and is topped by a widows walk. The home has been beautifully restored but has newer details including a media room, wine cellar and lap pool. A separate brick carriage house offers parking as well as an apartment. No ghosts or witches here (although hose taxidermied birds in the library are a wee bit creepy), just a beautiful brick home. This home is listed at $1.8 million with Merry Fox Realty.

Salem Yacht For Sale

Filed under: Yachts & Sailing

Superyacht Times brings my attention to another fabulous yacht up for sale. The 241-foot Salem yacht began in 1963 as the Dutch weather ship, Cumulus. The yacht went through a major refit in 1998 at the Devonport shipyard in the United Kingdom and was turned into a luxury cruising yacht. The yacht cruises at 10 to 14 knots and has five decks that can accommodate 48 guests and 43 crew members. Because the yacht was refitted for a Middle Eastern client, the yacht has been configured with a couple of self-contained decks (used to keep men and women separate). The yacht offers a lot of space for her length and is listed at $19.75 million through Edmiston.
