The historic Colonial Massachusetts home convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell shared with her estranged husband before her arrest appeared on the open market this spring. It is priced at $7.8 million.

The property, titled Tidewood, dates to 1660; the residence, a landmark known as the Phippen Smith House, began its life in Salem, and was moved to Manchester, where it now sits on 1.49 acres abutting over 20 acres of coastal land interspersed with walking trails.

An idyllic New England spot—in summer anyway—and a location that emphasizes the fact that the property’s history is far, far more extensive than its recent brush with ignominy might suggest. The home’s interiors have been updated in a more contemporary style, a design-forward 2010s composition of clean-lined modern, farmhouse embellishment, and sophisticated décor that indicates its owner read the right magazines.

Original details include the staircase, with its ornamental newel and balusters, and the wide-plank floors, which have seen a fairly recent refinish in the current style, but still manage to whisper the narrative of decades of use. There are five bedrooms in the home, include a master with an in-wall fireplace that can only be described as reticent, sliding glass doors that open to a grassy outdoor living area, and a dressing room slash bathroom which was until fairly recently another bedroom.

Outside, a newer deck overlooks the secluded, serene expanse that surrounds the home and gives its living style context: Atlantic, sparse forest, grass, scrub and rugged coastline.
