Welcome to 88 Congress St, Unit 3, a sunny 2-bedroom corner condo offering a rare combination of privacy, convenience, and affordability in Salem. Located just minutes from Downtown, this spacious 852 sq ft home offers two large bedrooms, a generous living room, and an eat-in kitchen with classic parquet flooring. Hardwood floors throughout most of the unit and a fresh paint job create a clean, move-in ready feel. Not only does the space work well, but the big-ticket items are already done: updated electrical, new gas heat, and a new gas hot water heater. This second-floor corner unit has no units above, plus exclusive off-street parking, basement storage, and a low $283/month condo fee that includes water, snow removal, and master insurance. Whether you’re looking for a place to call home or a smart investment opportunity, Unit 3 checks the boxes. Close to Salem Harbor, the ferry, commuter rail, and everything Salem has to offer. Pet-friendly association.
