Why settle for a condo when you can have privacy, outdoor space and home that actually feels like yours? Set on a partially wooded half-acre and elevated from the road, this light filled single family feels quite secluded, yet it's just steps from public transportation into the city. Inside, the layout is efficient and open with plenty of natural light and ample storage throughout. A sliding door off the kitchen leads to a spacious side deck- ideal for hosting friends, working from home or just enjoying a quiet evening surrounded by trees. Whether you're a first time home buyer, or just ready for something more grounded than a high-rise, this home gives you freedom, function, and a place that fits your lifestyle. 502 Salem is in the heart of Maplewood. 1.0 Mile to Malden Center(T and Commuter Rail-accessible by bus), 0.2 miles to Northern Strand Community Trail, close to Boston, Logan, myriad restaurants and shopping.
