Significant additional improvements to this home include dipped/reglazed/restored historic windows w/storms, rebuilt firebox & relined flue in LR, significant deleading, newer roof, replaced boiler, rebuilt attached barn, foundation upgrades & new granite steps at front & side doors. Almost every room has 2 exposures resulting in a bright cheery house throughout the day. Romantic 2 story attached barn could be storage + a great workshop/craft space, or possible inlaw/rental unit (2 family zoning). Ideally located on the Salem Common near the playground, a short distance to the commuter rail, the PEM, & all that downtown Salem has to offer.
