Exquisite circa 1800 home on beautiful Chestnut Street! Perfect for single family home buyer happy to defray costs with a rental unit or for multi-generational living. Units can easily be combined. Masterfully restored over 3 years, with all new systems, plumbing & electrical while retaining its antique charm. Windows were carefully restored or custom made to precise historic standards w/traditional wavy glass for authenticity. Lovely woodwork showcases Georgian, Federal, & Colonial Revival styles. Main unit has 3-4 BRs 2 ½ baths plus the sunniest office overlooking Chestnut St; lower unit has 2 BRs 2 ½ baths. Beautiful brick & cobblestone patio is accessible by both units as you see fit; flexes as off-street parking during the winter. Once home to Nathaniel Hawthorne who published the “Scarlet Letter” shortly after leaving. Ideally located on the corner of romantic Botts Court & elegant Chestnut St, minutes from the train station, restaurants, the PEM & waterfront.
