About this home

***Due to the level of interest, the seller requests all offers be submitted by Tuesday, the 17th at 6:00 PM. Please submit highest & best with complete terms. Seller will review offers as received and reserves the right to accept an offer at any time. Enjoy a walk-to-everything lifestyle—just 1,584 feet to the Salem Commuter Rail with direct Boston access and within a mile of the waterfront, museums, boutiques, and approximately 39 eateries. Rarely available in Salem’s prestigious McIntire District, this distinguished 1787 residence embodies authentic Federal-era craftsmanship with refined modern updates. Exposed hand-hewn beams, wide pine floors, and original fireplaces reflect its 18th-century heritage. The entire second floor is devoted to a spacious primary suite with en suite bath and flexible adjoining space ideal for a home office or dressing room. Four off-street parking spaces and a private backyard—amenities seldom found in downtown Salem—complete this exceptional offering.
