About this home
A rare opportunity to enjoy the best of downtown Salem living! Tucked just off the main drag, this impeccably renovated 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath townhouse-style residence offers an exceptional combination of historic charm, modern luxury, and peaceful privacy—all just one block from the commuter rail and steps from Salem's vibrant restaurants, cafés, boutiques, and waterfront. Part of a historic building total redevelopment, this sun-drenched home showcases beautifully preserved wide-plank pine floors, high ceilings, rich architectural details, and designer finishes throughout. The elegant kitchen features custom cabinetry, stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances, while the living and dining spaces offer warmth and character. Upstairs, the top-floor bedroom is highlighted by cathedral ceilings, exposed wood beams, an en-suite bath, and a convenient office nook. Central air provides year-round comfort, while a gorgeous rooftop deck overlooking downtown offers lovely private outdoor space. A special home in a location that offers it all—the energy and convenience of downtown, with a welcome sense of quiet when you return home.
