Details
This stunning 1860s Mansard home, originally built for the Buffum family, offers a deceptively large living space, seamlessly blending classic elegance with modern comfort. The property has undergone extensive renovations, with the Great Room and Kitchen updated in 2014, and the Main Bedroom and both bathrooms completely remodeled in 2019.
Further upgrades include updated electrical service and the installation of six new mini-splits, ensuring year-round comfort. The first floor features a beautiful entrance hall with an original staircase, a spacious office/bedroom which could also serve as a sitting room, and a dining room with a wall of windows overlooking the garden. The sunny great room/kitchen is perfect for entertaining, while the library/office provides a quiet retreat. A glam full bath with a soaking tub with jets and a heated floor adds a touch of luxury finishes. Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms and a sleek, updated (2019) bathroom. Abundant extra storage space is available in the easy-access basement. The property also benefits from off-street parking and a prime location just a 10-minute walk from the MBTA and everything downtown Salem has to offer.
