Enjoy a walk-to-everything lifestyle-just 1,584 feet to the Salem Commuter Rail with direct Boston access and within a mile of the waterfront, museums, boutiques, and approximately 39 eateries. Rarely available in Salem's prestigious McIntire District, this distinguished 1787 residence embodies authentic Federal-era craftsmanship with refined modern updates.Exposed hand-hewn beams, wide pine floors, and original fireplaces reflect its 18th-century heritage. The entire second floor is devoted to a spacious primary suite with en suite bath and flexible adjoining space ideal for a home office or dressing room. Four off-street parking spaces and a private backyard-amenities seldom found in downtown Salem-complete this exceptional offering. A rare opportunity to own a meaningful piece of Salem's architectural legacy.
