Step into a rare piece of American history with this circa-1769 Colonial located in the heart of Salem’s Historic District. Offering approximately 3,104 square feet, this spacious 7-bedroom, 3.5-bath historic home sits on a 6,820 sq ft lot and is filled with timeless architectural character, generous room sizes, and endless potential.

Outside, the rear yard connects to alley access from Carpenter Street.
