About this home
Grand Victorian character, generous living spaces, and a home that's anything but ordinary! Welcome to 270 Lafayette Street, Unit 1, where timeless character meets modern comfort in this spacious first-floor condominium. Set within a handsome 1880s Victorian, this inviting two-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers 1,261 square feet of light-filled living space. Soaring ceilings, rich period woodwork, graceful columns, and oversized bay and bow windows create rooms filled with warmth and character. The generous living room features a delightful window seat, while an adjoining family room offers flexible space to relax or entertain. A spacious primary bedroom with a decorative fireplace adds another touch of Victorian elegance. The updated kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, with an adjacent dining area and access to a private deck. Central air conditioning, three deeded off-street parking spaces, additional basement storage, and access to a common workshop provide exceptional convenience. Ideally located between downtown Salem and Forest River Park, this is a home with history, personality, and plenty of room to make it your own!
