Attention witches! The John Proctor House is officially up for sale just in time for Halloween.
Built in 1638, the has is rooted in Colonial and American history. The John Proctor House in Peabody, Massachusetts was occupied by John Proctor, who was convicted and hanged for witchcraft during the Salem witch trials of 1692.
The house is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is closed to the public. But, now there’s a chance that someone will be calling it home.
“This first period, registered historic home features period detail with the functionality of today's needs. Large eat in kitchen with plenty of workspace,” reads the listing by J Barrett & Company. “The dining room can accommodate your largest holiday gathering. All the bedrooms offer storage and ample space to relax.”
The house is listed at $600,000 USD (or $782,430 CAD), and is complete with features like an in-ground swimming pool, six bedrooms, a patio, and seven fireplaces. And you probably get to be known as the town witch. Seems like quite a deal!
If you need more background on the story of John Proctor, he is a main protagonist in the The Crucible, a 1950s play by Arthur Miller, which was then adapted into a movie in 1996 (starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Winona Ryder).
