About this home
Charming Colonial home in a fabulous North Salem location! This cheery residence boasts a lovely front entry with sunroom which leads to a spacious living/dining area awash in natural light from multiple picture windows. The versatile open concept floor plan offers beautiful hardwood floors throughout, high ceilings and quaint period detail. There is a large eat-in kitchen with a laundry room conveniently located nearby as well as a mud room which is accessible from a second side entrance. The upstairs offers three ample bedrooms, a large tiled bath and a walk up attic. The partially finished full basement offers a cozy office area and plenty of space for storage, a home gym or room to grow. The back yard is level and hosts a patio area as well as a detached one car garage. Perfectly situated on a quiet cul-de-sac road with mature plantings near the historic downtown area, Mack Park, the Salem Commuter Rail/MBTA, Salem/Peabody line and Routes 1/95 and 128. A complete gem of a home!
