Corwin’s house is the only structure in town still standing that has direct ties to he trials, according toits official website. Corwin was a wealthy merchant in the colony and one of the judges of the witch trials, which, from the winter of 1692 through May of the following year, resulted in the hanging of 19 alleged witches, the site states.Tours are available to the public.
It’s no coincidence that the Sandwich home shares many physical properties of the Corwin house, including it’s black timber facade, diamond-paned windows and three peaked roofs. According to the listing, “this East Sandwich treasure is an authentic reproduction of the famous Salem Witch House.” Inside the 3-bedroom, 2 1/2-bath, 2,606-square-foot home, the historical architecture continues, including beamed ceilings and large stone fireplaces.
Contemporary additions make the home more than comfortable for present-day buyers. The fireplaces are gas, the kitchen includes every modern appliance, and there is a generator in case the lights go out for reasons otherworldly or otherwise.
