This elegant single family in Salem's beautiful McIntire Historic District is on Chestnut Street, itself a National Historic Landmark lined with grand antique homes.
This area of 407 homes and carriage houses is named after Salem architect Samuel McIntire (1757-1811), who designed many Federal-style homes here, including his own.
The home at 46 Chestnut St. was built later, in 1870, as one of two attached single families in the French-influenced Second Empire style. It has a gray clapboard exterior (recladded in 2008) with black shutters and a mansard roof. A white columned entryway leads through frosted glass doors into an oak foyer/hallway.
To the left is a formal living room with 6-foot-high windows and an original white marble fireplace mantel and metal grate used as a heating vent. The adjacent sunny dining room has a three-sided bay window bumpout and a wood-burning fireplace with its original gray marble mantel.
You pass through a pantry with 10 cherrywood cabinets, a marble backsplash and sink on the way to the kitchen, which was redone in 1997, along with an adjacent updated half bathroom.
The recessed and pendant-lit kitchen has brown ceramic tile floors, 24 cherrywood cabinets and Formica counters that also cover a center island. Appliances include an older black General Electric wall oven and an off-white RCA/Whirlpool refrigerator as well as a dishwasher added last year.
The highlight of the kitchen is a full-wall glass window with French doors that brings in lots of sunlight and opens out onto a restored side deck. Stairs lead down to a charming, fenced-in brick patio and an adjacent garden. A driveway beyond, which holds two cars, was just redone in brick, and outdoor lighting was added. The house is on a small lot, however, and there are no front or back yards.
Back inside, a winding staircase with an original rail and newel post leads up to the second floor. There are two oak-floored bedrooms here, one a good-sized master bedroom, the second a smaller guest bedroom. Across the hall sits a full bathroom completely redone in 2000 with a green marble floor, white tile walls, a Fiberglas walk-in shower, a stained-glass window and half-wall wainscoting.
Also on this floor is a handsome family/sitting room with oak floors, a wood-burning fireplace with a white marble mantel and built-in bookcases. There also are built-ins in a long, narrow home office down the hall, that features a three-bay window seating alcove.
The current owners added three carpeted bedrooms and a bathroom on the third floor in 2000, installed a wood floor in the hallway in 2008 and electric heaters in 2010. The bedrooms are average to small in size, but one has a large area of prebuilt wardrobe cabinets. The stylish full bathroom features black marble floors and a white tile surround for a raised deep soaking tub. There's a pedestal sink and a granite-topped vanity area.
The home's full basement features lots of storage space, a laundry room, a home workshop and a half bath updated in 2005. It also holds the home's heating system replaced with natural gas in 2000, as well as central air conditioning added the same year.
