About this home

Tastefully renovated 6 room, 1.5 bath colonial. Located in desirable north Salem, it is less than a 10 minute walk from the commuter train, downtown, restaurants & shopping. Open 26' Living/Dining Rooms. Bright office/studio. Updates include kitchen, baths, roof, interior walls, electric, heating system, lighting, doors and much more. The Beacon Hill yard is big enough for a garden but won't consume your valuable weekends maintaining it. Wood deck off the kitchen. Zoned for possible business.
