What's special

Wood-burning fireplaceOriginal woodworkMultiple living spacesHardwood floorsFour generously sized bedrooms

Perched above the street at the entrance to Salem's desirable Witchcraft Heights neighborhood, this is one of those homes you've probably noticed for years. One of the first things you'll notice is how spacious the home feels. Natural light fills the rooms, highlighting the original woodwork, built-ins, hardwood floors, and wood-burning fireplace. Thoughtful updates over the years have made the home comfortable for today's lifestyle while preserving the warmth that makes it feel like home. The first floor offers multiple living spaces, including a family room with direct access to the deck and pool, plus a second family room currently used as a home office. Upstairs you'll find four generously sized bedrooms and central A/C. Outside, mature trees create a private backyard with a patio, pool, and room to relax or entertain. Just minutes from Salem Hospital, Salem Woods, Salem Golf Club, downtown Salem, shopping, schools, and commuter routes.
