About this home

Thoughtfully restored and award-recognized, this North Salem townhouse blends historic character with intentional contemporary design. Renovated in 2018 as part of the 1832 Edward Melcher House and honored by Historic Salem, Inc., it offers three levels of well-appointed living. The main level features open kitchen, dining, and living spaces with wide pine floors, a beautifully detailed staircase, soapstone counters, brass fixtures, and Thermador appliances. The second level is a serene primary suite with clawfoot tub, rain shower, dual vanities, and laundry. The top level includes a spacious bedroom, office/den, ¾ bath, and private roof deck. Privately set at the rear with its own entry, fenced yard, patio areas, mature landscaping, and off-street parking. Just minutes to commuter rail and downtown Salem. The cherry on top is an 18 panel LG solar array system providing fextremely low energy costs.
