About this home

Step back in time without sacrificing modern convenience. Built in 1768 for Captain Edward Allen, this exceptional 6-room, 2-bedroom townhome is nestled in the heart of Salem's Historic District, just steps from The House of the Seven Gables, Pickering Wharf, and the historic Ye Olde Pepper Companie. Rich with period character, the home showcases beautifully refinished original King pine hardwood floors, multiple original fireplaces, and timeless architectural details throughout. The elegant dining room features a stunning hand-painted mural depicting Pickering Wharf as it appeared during the home's early years, creating a one-of-a-kind setting for entertaining. Thoughtfully updated for today's lifestyle, the home also offers a renovated kitchen, in-unit washer and dryer, and the perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort. Rarely does an opportunity arise to own a piece of Salem's rich history in one of its most sought-after locations.
