A historic 350-year-old estate with ties to the Salem witch trials and the Revolutionary War is up for sale in Beverly. Originally built by William Cleaves in 1675 as a one-bedroom residence, the colonial home now features four bedrooms and two baths, with a fireplace that dates back to its original construction. Cleaves, who later married the daughter of a man accused of witchcraft during the Salem trials, added on to the house in 1677 after acquiring land from his father-in-law. The estate has been passed down through three families over the centuries, with Nathaniel Cleaves, a descendant, participating in both the Battle of Lexington and Concord and the Battle of Bunker Hill during the Revolutionary War. The property boasts wide pine flooring, outdoor vegetable plots, a garden, and a wooden garage. Engel & Völkers By The Sea is handling the sale for $600,000, with interested buyers urged to contact listing agent Diantha Phothisan.
