About this home
Penthouse living in the heart of historic downtown Salem — a bright one-bedroom-plus-office condo with deeded parking, steps from the shops, restaurants, and nightlife and just a half mile to the Salem commuter rail station. This updated top-floor home features hardwood floors throughout, cathedral ceilings, central A/C, a large eat-in kitchen, custom closet system in the primary bedroom, and a tiled full bath with a newer in-unit Bosch washer and dryer. A glass slider leading to a private open-air deck extends your living space, while a versatile bonus room makes an ideal home office or nursery. Enjoy ample basement storage and additional private attic space, all in a pet-friendly building with a strong, low-fee association. Live in one of the North Shore's most vibrant and famed cities — a quick train ride to Boston without Boston prices.
