Taft Summer Home on Salem Bay Peppered with local lore
The Taft summer cottage sits on a peninsula on Salem Bay near Beverly, known locally as Woodberry or Burgess Point. The Stetson cottage, also called the Stetson, is guarded and secluded with ocean views, accessible by a nearby trolley line, and used by prominent residents in the past. The estate, non ostentatious yet near multiple golf clubs and beaches, hosts yachting and motor boating on a tidal bay with a Jubilee Yacht Club honorary membership and potential races against Germany.
