About this home

Distinguished 1875 Victorian multifamily thoughtfully reimagined into two stunning townhouse-style residences in historic North Salem. Spanning over 4,310 SF, this fully renovated property offers 8 bedrooms and 6 full bathrooms across two expansive units, each designed to live with the comfort and privacy of a single-family home. A significant restoration brought new life to the property while preserving its original architectural character, including soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, hardwood flooring, and restored historic details throughout. Every major system has been upgraded, including new roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC with gas heat and central A/C, redesigned open-concept living spaces, brand-new kitchens and baths, and fresh interior/exterior paint. Separate driveways, private yard spaces, and townhouse-style layouts offer opportunity for owner-occupied living, multigenerational use, or investment potential. Ideal North Salem location 1 mile to downtown and MBTA.
