Witchcraft Heights. This large and light-filled home stands proud on an expansive corner lot and promises the life of leisure you’ve been dreaming of.

From the kitchen, you can overlook the living and dining area and move out through the sliders to the deck to admire the generous and fenced backyard. Extending the floorplan even further is the finished basement with a fourth bedroom and a playroom that could be adapted to suit your needs. This must-see home is close to schools, parks, shopping, Salem Hospital and the center of Salem.
