Rare Main Post & Beam! The character and charm will draw you in and you'll never want to leave the neighborhood! The first floor has a versatile open floor plan you will love hanging out and hosting in. The kitchen was recently updated & has a tremendous functional kitchen island that includes storage, prep space and doubles as a built in table or breakfast bar to eat at. The adjacent living room is open yet feels private as you come down the central stairs of the home. There are two bedrooms, currently being used as his & hers offices on the first floor - one leading to the back deck & the other leading to the heated/cooled bonus sunroom! The upstairs bedrooms, including the Main bedroom, are generous in space and storage. The yard will feel secluded even though it's only partially fenced in and the privacy on the back deck will have you enjoying the hot-tub any chance you get! Never worry about parking using the garage, driveway and being set on a corner lot in the middle of three cul-du-sacs; and you'll appreciate being just minutes from Salem Hospital, Salem Woods, Salem Golf Club, downtown Salem, restaurants, shopping, schools, the commuter rail, and major routes. You'll feel like you're living on vacation in this rare Main Post & Beam home, every time you walk through the door!

ADU Potential

Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 2,095 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 7,510 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
