Welcome to the Salem Willows, where seaside living, spectacular gardens and a truly distinctive home come together. Offering 2,766 SF of finished living space, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home has wonderful room to gather, entertain and simply settle in. The light-filled first floor unfolds with a spacious living room warmed by a wood stove, formal dining room with skylights, comfortable family room, kitchen and full bath with jacuzzi tub and laundry. Upstairs are four bedrooms and two additional baths, including a spacious primary bedroom with beamed cathedral ceiling and skylights. But keep going! Tucked at the top of the house, the third-floor tower room is an unexpected gem, with views across Juniper Cove to Marblehead beyond. It’s an irresistible spot for a home office, reading room or peaceful retreat. Outside, lush, established gardens envelop the property, creating a private oasis for morning coffee, summer gatherings and enjoying the changing seasons, with a garden shed tucked naturally into the landscape. Thoughtful updates include: new roof and 28 owned solar panels (2023), seven mini-splits for heat and A/C and exterior paint (2024), and a freshly painted interior (2026). Spacious, inviting and wonderfully unique, this is a home with a sense of place - all in the special seaside setting of the Salem Willows.
