18 5 Summer Salem, MA 01970

Tucked behind a winding brick path that invites you in from the street, this enchanting former carriage house offers a rare sense of retreat in the heart of Salem. Surrounded by lush grounds and set well back from the road, this tidy house feels more like a country hideaway than an in-town residence. The private backyard is a bird-filled oasis bordered by neighboring gardens and mature plantings that create a peaceful green backdrop throughout the seasons. Three graceful arched windows in the open-plan first floor frame the garden beyond, while the second floor enjoys lovely views of the grounds and neighboring gardens. Offering two bedrooms, one full bath, and a convenient first-floor half bath, this home combines charm and comfort. This house comes with off street parking for 2 cars, but you'll hardly need it with the train station, downtown restaurants, library, YMCA, and Salem Athenaeum all nearby, allowing for a vibrant in-town lifestyle.
